Yes. As far as I know Darwin is the closest city to Mary River.
To start off the year:
0.0.2 scimitar horned oryx born
0.2 maned wolves named 'Chiquita' and 'Mirari'
plus more fallow deer, blackbuck, hog deer and water buffalo.
The wolves would be pups of Senna and Olinta?

Yes they are
Also 4 lions should be there june/july. any ideas where they may be coming from?
When I was there, a couple of years ago we were told they were looking at getting lions from Mogo.

Around the end of June beginning of July!
They are coming from Mogo Zoo too 1 white male, 1 tawny male & 2 tawny females
There are a lot more Hog deer and Eland than last time I was there. The African Wild Dog, Hyena and Mained Wolf exhibits are all very large with several pens. The Lion exhibit looks good to, just waiting for the lions.
The Scimitar Horned Oryx look good and have a large treed enclosure. The Addax also look very settled.
The Crocodile and Alligator house looks good, with on Salt water Crocodile, 2 freshwater crocs and 2 alligators.
The only thing I dont like is being unable to leave the carts during the tour to take photos. I can see why though with the carnivores only having the one fence, and the possibility of children or the stupid putting their fingers through the fence and having them bitten off. Maybe they need to offer a slower tour with more opportunities to get off for those of us who want more time, but I am sure most people like the speed it is.
I think it was a mistake to go on a long weekend as there was more people booked than would fit on the horse carts. They had a 3 rd cart behind a ute and all were full making over 40 people on the tour.
