History edit

The zoo was closed from 27 March to 9 June 2020 due to government restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia.[5][6] As the zoo had large carnivores it had problems feeding them. It relied on bank loans and generous people to cover costs, and also set up a crowdfunding page to raise money.[7][2] The zoo has since re-opened to the public.
