Red kangaroos at Adelaide Zoo

Details

DecriptionThe image shows red kangaroos, a male with females, in their enclosure at Adelaide Zoo. Red kangaroos have been exhibited since the early days of the zoo. The image probably dates from the 1930s.

The Adelaide Zoo first opened on 23 May 1883, occupying 6.5 hectares (16 acres) (now 8 hectares (20 acres)) of land granted by the Government. It was founded by the South Australian Acclimatization and Zoological Society. The society later became the Royal Zoological Society of South Australia after a Royal Charter was granted by King George VI in 1937.
