Hopefully, is there a definite opening date yet? I can only find mid-December, which is essentially this weekend, but surely they would have announced this on Facebook if it was the case. .
I am not sure. Judging by photos, it is practically finished so the opening should be very soon.
EDIT: I just read the "Wild Life" magazine (for zoo members). It had some more details of Lemur Forest Adventure:
4.0 ringtail lemurs came from Auckland who were born there (Andriba, Soalata, Andre, Makili)
4.0 came from Hong Kong originally but came to Taronga from Dubbo (Julian, Casper, Maki, Bamboo)
There will be three zones:
1. trail which will take visitors through dense 'forest', which will have 10 'discovery poles' in it clustered into four geographical zones (Australia, South America, Madagascar, South-east Asia) which have details on the forests in these zones. There will also be 'promise trees' which convey conservation messages on environmental topics (e.g. recycling, saving energy, etc.) by introducing a cartoon ambassador called Harry.
2. visitors will then move to the 'Observation Outpost'=pretty much a playground.
3. finally will be the lemur walk through which "replicates typical Southern Madagascan habitat, with spiny scrub in a beautiful stone setting".
More importantly, the lemurs will be on view shortly (it says December), however, the walk through will not be open until April 2014. All in all, judging by the theme around it, I don't think it will be a great exhibit, especially since 2/3 of it is not even an animal exhibit., but I will need to see it in my own eyes before passing judgement.
) when they get to that part.
