They've had long-tailed tailed porcupines on and off display over the past decade. They're supposedly housed with the Northern Luzon Cloud Rat in a small glass-fronted enclosure between East Lodge and Tram Stop 3 (not shown on the map). But I didn't see any during my visit.
long-tailed porcupines are cool, much better than the crested porcupines. I didn't see them in the cloud rat enclosure, but I thought I remembered seeing them in one of the open porcupine pens on my visit? I may be getting confused though, I've seen them in a number of zoos over there.
Yes, Naracoorte was open when I was last there, but the Sugar Gliders were elsewhere, I think in the exhibit you are referring to - see attached map below (from 2010).
