I messaged the zoo as I was also curious in knowing. The Przewalski's Horse came from Monarto Safari Park and is named Cav.

More information about the Yellow-footed Rock Wallabies. The zoo received an initial breeding group of 1.3. They have been living at Altina for over a year now and have already produced 1.2 joeys. All three breeding females also currently have pouch young. Therefore Altina is already home to a group of ten rock wallabies!

If someone can access it, that would be great.
(why these pay walls, makes no sense ... you want information out there no?)
All I can find is this mention, which adds the information that the sanctuary opened Monday:
We recently collaborated with the Altin family to build a state of the art sanctuary to help protect the Yellow Footed Rock Wallaby (AKA the beloved animal depicted on our [yellow tail] logo) at their Altina Wildlife Park - not too far from our winery in Yenda, NSW. The sanctuary officially opened on Monday with a breeding program that will assist in the long term survival of the endangered wallaby. They have been nursing the species for almost a year and, having already given birth to three babies with three more in the pouch, they are making exciting progress.
It then links to the stupid paywall...

Kito the giraffe has died. He was born at Monarto Safari Park in 2005 and was Altina Wildlife Park's first giraffe to arrived back in 2007. He died of a heart attack on Tuesday morning.
Altina Wildlife ParkRIP KITO
(2005-2020)
Born at Monarto zoo in 2005. Kito arrived at Altina Wildlife Park in December 2007 as the first ever giraffe in the Riverina! In January 2008 his best mate Shaka turned up, who became his enclosure buddy for 11 years. When Shaka moved next door to breed, his new mate Uthuli lived with him happily, for the last two years of his life. Kito was always the first giraffe to say hello to staff and visitors each day. He loved his food, especially his carrots, and didn’t have an aggressive bone in his body. He could even be seen cuddling with the resident zebra stallion Atreyu. Unfortunately Kito had a fatal heart attack on Tuesday morning that both vets & keepers could not have predicted nor aided. This sudden loss has hit the Altina Family extremely hard, and being such a special, affectionate animal he will be sadly missed and forever in our hearts. Rest In Peace beautiful boy!
