Semi-Arid Grasslands is the largest habitat at Wild Life Sydney , stretching over 50 metres long and holding an amazing 200 tonnes of red earth from Central Australia! The authentically created habitat is home to 13 Agile wallabies, 5 Tamar wallabies and 35 plants and trees, including 100 year old rare bottle trees.

The spectacular two storey Flight Canyon has more than 100 colourful birds from around Australia, 50 plants and trees (including seven trees that stand over 10 metres high) and a nine metre cascading waterfall.

Both Semi-Arid Grasslands and Flight Canyon are open-air habitats, giving the animals access to natural weather conditions whilst protected by a mesh roof.

Visitors can now walk into the red earth world of Semi-Arid Grasslands and come face-to-face with its furry wallaby inhabitants. They will then enter the adjacent Flight Canyon and walk through the rainforest canopy on a bridge that scoops around the habitat’s picturesque waterfall.
