 Outback After Dark is our Australian-themed overnight Zoo adventure. Participants will enjoy a night at an Australian sheep ranch in the "outback." The program combines elements of Aboriginal culture, such as the opportunity to play a didgeridoo, and the European ranching culture of Australia. The group will see and learn about some of the animals that have been introduced to Australia and their impact on the environment. They will meet some of the Zoo's smaller Australian animals. At night, participants will learn about some of the stars one might see in the southern hemisphere from Australia and compare them to what is visible in our night sky.
