Nura Diya Australia

Taronga Zoo Sydney's new immersive Australian Habitat.

Explore Taronga’s newest Australian experiences, Nura Diya Australia and nguwing nura – Nocturnal Country. Connect with the unique habitats and the iconic species that call them home.

Taronga’s newest immersive experience, Nura Diya Australia is now open. Explore 23 iconic and rare Australian species and the unique habitats that call home.  

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. 

Nura Diya Australia combines four unique landscapes: 

  • buru nura - Kangaroo Country 

  • gulamany nura - Koala Country 

  • wuragal nura - Dingo Country 

  • nguwing nura – Nocturnal Country 

PLEASE NOTE: The ramp surrounding the Dingo habitat will be closed from Monday 27 November - Wed 29 November until 11am.
