The 6 month old named Bailey has been hugely popular guests, with her huge dark eyes, tiny pink nose and fluffy pale yellow coat, she is the new star attraction. Bailey is the latest success in the zoo’s breeding program, being the third Golden Brushtail possum born since her parents arrived in 2008.

The Darling Harbour attraction offers you the chance to get up close to red kangaroos, stroll through a butterfly hothouse, cuddle a koala and come eye to eye with Rex, one of the world’s largest crocodiles.
