My current list isn’t that impressive:
- Feathertail glider (Acrobates pygmaeus)
- (Western) Woylie (Bettongia penicillata (ogilbyi))
- Dusky pademelon (Thylogale brunii)
- Parma wallaby (Macropus parma)
- Red kangaroo (Macropus rufus)
- Red-necked wallaby (Macropus rufogriseus)
- Swamp wallaby (Macropus bicolor)
- Tammar wallaby (Macropus eugenii)

But I will visit Beauval for the first time this year, which will (hopefully) add the following species to the list:
- (Queensland) Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus (cinereus))
- Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii)
- Goodfellow's tree-kangaroo (Dendrolagus goodfellowi)

I've only seen koalas, red and grey kangaroos, and a few different types of wallaby. As far as I know, only two zoos in the UK keeps wombats, Longleat and Hamerton, and none keep Tasmanian devils. Both are species I would love to see one day though.

Did they ever have common? I visited once in 2012, and seemed to remember both species. I could be wrong though.
