My problem isn't so much with the aesthetics, but with such a large and iconic exhibit area being given over to such frankly dull species. Fine in their own right, but too numerous in zoos to be given this much of the zoo's area when space is at such a premium at Regent's Park.

yes i agree with you, altho maybe someone thinks the oz contient might be worth a mention in a zoo and they are iconic animals for oz, dont forget the black swans they have in the exhibit aswell!!!!
no, i just think they was doing the work any exhibit would need when carrying out the work and was under pressure to use this space, i think they have bigger plans just lack funds at the moment. I think its just nice to see it alive again, i like it.
i dont remember them ever thinking they did wonders with the place, they just used it.

I think you're probably entirely right, though I would add that going for Bennett's Wallaby is very much an easy way out - there are hundreds at Whipsnade. They could have got a more interesting/unusual macropod (or macropods ) from somewhere else without too much effort.
Emus and Black Swans are fair enough as there's no obvious equivalent to swap them for, but give us some weird macropods, ZSL!
