Koala
Poppy the koala
Meet Poppy, aka “Miss Independent”. Born on the 29th of June 2019, she is a strong-willed, little go-getter of a koala joey who can’t wait to be big and strong so she can go exploring. Poppy has been melting hearts from the moment she left her mums pouch with her independent and feisty nature. She’s a little koala with a big personality.

Dingo
Stirling & Jindy the dingoes
Stirling, born on the 6th of August, 2019, is a social butterfly and just wants to be everyone’s best mate. He loves to stand beside his keepers while they clean his exhibit, and when out on walks, always makes a beeline for staff and guests to say hello!
Stirling loves the company of his dingo mates, Tanami and Jindy, and isn’t such a fan if they go out on a walk without him.
Jindy is our gorgeous female dingo pup, born on the 6th of August, 2019. Jindy is easily identified by the white tip on the end of her tail and the fact that it never stops wagging! Jindy is a very sweet girl and a little goofy. She loves to investigate everything both inside her exhibit and out. She's always the first to greet her keepers, letting out a deep little grumbling noise to express her excitement.
Tune in to watch Stirling and Jindy in their exhibit 24/7 via our 'Webcams' tab.

Platypus
Aroona the platypus
Aroona is one of our male platypus, born on the 1st of October 2012. Aroona is a speedy little lad, both in the water and on land. He loves chasing crayfish in his tank, and always travels through his burrow network in record speed, before snuggling up in his den for a nap. You can easily identify Aroona by his smooth, perfectly brown bill, as opposed to Barak's which has pink pigmentation. Tune in to watch Aroona in his exhibit 24/7 via our 'Webcams' tab.
Kangaroo
Mr Miyagi the kangaroo
Meet Mr. Miyagi, the red kangaroo with a black belt in chilling. When Mr. M isn’t grazing for grass with his other kangaroo buddies, he can often be seen sprawled out on his back soaking in the sun. You can see him in all his chilled-out glory on our live streamed “Kangaroos in the Valley by the Lake” camera.
Eagle
Spirit the wedge-tailed eagle
Meet Spirit, the wedge-tailed eagle. Spirit was originally brought into care from the wild after being struck by a car. His injuries meant that he couldn’t be re-released, but he still gets to fly every day as one of the stars of our Free Flight Raptor Show. Spirit is a serious boy, but has a definite soft side and likes the occasional head scratch from his keepers. Spirit arrived at Lone Pine in November 2004.

Wombat
Bella the common wombat
One word to sum up Bella: sweet.
Born January 2013, Bella is a gentle and curious soul who loves to follow around her keepers while they are cleaning. She is harness trained and enjoys going out on regular walks with her keepers to explore, sometimes even taking them for a jog!
