  • Media Release Embargoed Until 09:00Am April 1St, 2015
    Media Release Embargoed until 09:00am April 1st, 2015 THE PURR-FECT DAY OUT SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium launches the world’s first cat friendly Aquarium and Kitty Snorkel Experience In the latest phenomenon in the trend of pet hotels, pet insurance, pet passports, doggy day spas and cat cafés; SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium is opening the world’s first Cat Aquarium and Kitty Snorkel Experience1. SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium, home to the world’s largest collection of Australian aquatic life, is opening its doors (and even its tanks) to the Australian feline community and their human parents. From today, cats, known for their love of watching fish, will be able to stroll through the exhibits; and for the more adventurous kitten, go furry face-to-fin in our specially designed cat tank. Australia is a nation of animal lovers, with more animals than people; there is an estimated 25 million* pets owned in the country, one of the highest rates of pet ownership in the world. It is estimated that the pet industry is worth 8 billion dollars*, with Aussies shelling a small fortune on things from grooming to pet hotels. Now Aussie pet owners can add one more experience to their list, with a trip to SEA LIFE Sydney Cat Aquarium and Kitty Snorkel Experience tipped to be the hottest places to be seen for cats in 2015. The Kitty Snorkel Experience has been designed in partnership with Marine Biologists at SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium and Dr Kim Kendall, Sydney’s best loved and one of the world’s most well-known cat specialist.

  • Trip to Australia March 4 to April 3, 2014
    TRIP TO AUSTRALIA MARCH 4 TO APRIL 3, 2014 We timed this trip so that we'd be in Australia at the beginning of their fall season, reasoning that had we come two months earlier we would have experienced some of the most brutal summer weather that the continent had ever known. Temperatures over 40°C (104°F) were common in the cities that we planned to visit: Sydney (in New South Wales), Melbourne* (in Victoria), and Adelaide (in South Australia); and _____________________________________________________________ *Melbourne, for example, had a high of 47°C (117°F) on January 21; and several cities in the interior regions of NSW, Vic, and SA had temperatures of about 50°C (122°F) during Decem ber-January. _______________________________________________________________ there were dangerous brush fires not far from populated areas. As it turned out, we were quite fortunate: typical daily highs were around 25°C (although Adelaide soared to 33°C several days after we left it) and there were only a couple of days of rain. In m y earlier travelogs, I paid tribute to m y wife for her brilliant planning of our journey. So it was this time as well. In the months leading up to our departure, we (i.e., Lee) did yeoman (yeowoman? yo, woman?) work in these areas: (1) deciding which regions of Australia to visit; (2) scouring web sites, in consultation with the travel agency Southern Crossings, for suitable lodging; (3) negotiating with Southern Crossings (with the assistance of Stefan Bisciglia of Specialty Cruise and Villas, a fam ily-run travel agency in Gig Harbor) concerning city and country tours, tickets to events, advice on sights, etc.; and (4) reading several web sites and travel books.

While with Station Advertising, consumers have plenty of time to read, consider and take in your message with an average waiting time of three minutes on Sydney Monorail and ten minutes on Metro Light Rail stations. © Metro Transport Sydney Pty Ltd 2012 ADVERTISING OPPORTUNITIES Why outdoor (or out of home) advertising? In today’s busy and fast–paced life, Outdoor is perfect for reaching people on the go and reaches audiences that other media find hard and cost–prohibitive to reach. For consumers there is no avoiding Outdoor; it is free and cannot be turned off. Outdoor is about delivering impact and awareness – it captures ‘share of mind’ and produces measurable results.

    Leading � rec�very Annual Report 2019–2020 TARONGA ANNUAL REPORT 2019–2020 A SHARED FUTURE � WILDLIFE AND PE�PLE At Taronga we believe that together we can find a better and more sustainable way for wildlife and people to share this planet. Taronga recognises that the planet’s biodiversity and ecosystems are the life support systems for our own species' health and prosperity. At no time in history has this been more evident, with drought, bushfires, climate change, global pandemics, habitat destruction, ocean acidification and many other crises threatening natural systems and our own future. Whilst we cannot tackle these challenges alone, Taronga is acting now and working to save species, sustain robust ecosystems, provide experiences and create learning opportunities so that we act together. We believe that all of us have a responsibility to protect the world’s precious wildlife, not just for us in our lifetimes, but for generations into the future. Our Zoos create experiences that delight and inspire lasting connections between people and wildlife. We aim to create conservation advocates that value wildlife, speak up for nature and take action to help create a future where both people and wildlife thrive. Our conservation breeding programs for threatened and priority wildlife help a myriad of species, with our program for 11 Legacy Species representing an increased commitment to six Australian and five Sumatran species at risk of extinction. The Koala was added as an 11th Legacy Species in 2019, to reflect increasing threats to its survival. In the last 12 months alone, Taronga partnered with 28 organisations working on the front line of conservation across 17 countries.
