Nura Diya Australia
The name Nura Diya is from Sydney First Language and means ‘This Country’; these words have been gifted to Taronga through ongoing and respectful consultation with First Nations People, including Taronga’s Aboriginal Advisory Group, Cammeraigal and First Nations staff.
Along the 400-metre walking trail, you will stroll amongst Kangaroos, come paw-to-paw with our Dingo pups, walk within the tree canopy to see Koalas up close and then venture into the darkness to see curious night-loving creatures.
These animals are some of the oldest and rarest wildlife found nowhere else on earth. We invite you to immerse yourself amongst native Australian flora and fauna, connect with Country and reconnect with nature.
