Australian Menagerie™ is a competitive game of chance and strategy which highlights the diverse range of Australia’s wildlife and habitats..

The aim of Menagerie™ is to collect as many animal cards as you can for each habitat of your nature reserve and to protect them from threats to their survival, eg. fire pollution and feral animals. You score points for each animal card you have in your nature reserve at the end of each hand. The first player, or team to gain 100 points wins the game.

Menagerie™ can be played at 3 levels. Level 1 is for young players but it is also a starting point for all players. We suggest you play a game at Level 1 before moving on to Levels 2 and 3.

The south east Australian standard game of Australian Menagerie™ consists of 3 habitat mats (each featuring the coast, forest and semi-arid habitats), four cards for each of the 11 Australian animals featured, 5 threat cards and 5 management strategy cards.

Each of the ADD-ON Habitats packs (Australian Alps, Tasmania, Coral Reef and Tropical Rainforest) have 4 unique habitat mats, 4 of each of the 4 animals found in that habitat and an extra threat and management card.

*Add on packs sold separately

The Aim of the Game

A menagerie is a collection of different species of animals. The aim of the game, Menagerie™ , is to collect as many animals as you can for each habitat of your nature reserve and to protect them from threats to their survival e.g. fire, pollution and feral animals. You will score points for each animal you have in your nature reserve and the first player/team to gain 100 points or more wins the game.

The Menagerie™ ADD-ON Habitats are designed to compliment your Australain Menagerie™ game. These ADD-ON Habitats enable you to play with addition animals, habitas and more players. Each ADD-ON Habitat comes with four animals unique to that habitat, an extra threat and ADD-ON playing boards. There are four cards for each animal. Each card has a fascinating fact about the animal.

Australian Alps

Snow lies on Australia's highest mountains, in the south-east corner of the mainland, for about 120 days each year. The area has been subjected to millions of years of uplifts and erosion while the area around Australia's highest mountain, Mt Kosciuszko (2228 m), was further shaped by permanent ice between 25000 to 10000 years ago. The resultant landform is undulating plateaus with glacial lakes and steep sided river valleys.

It is too cold for trees to grow in the highest parts of the alps so the vegetation consists of herbfields, grasslands and heath which produce spectacular displays of flowers each summer. The Kosciuszko alpine area is home to 21 species of plants which live nowhere else in the world. The lower slopes support forests of snow gums, mountain gums, peppermints and alpine ash.

The large range in elevation (300m to 2228m above sea level), rainfall and temperatures means that the alps support many different plant communities and therefore animals habitats. The extreme climatic conditions means that some plants and animals can only live in the alps.

Designed to compliment your Australian Menagerie game with additional animals, habitats and more players.

Coral Reefs, which are the world's richest marine habitats, occur in shallow, warm waters where the sea temperature is almost always between 18 to 30 degrees centigrade. Australian coral reefs are found off the coasts of Western Australia and Queensland and grow from about the level of a low spring tide down to a depth of about 40 metres.

When we look at a reef we are, in fact, seeing a thin layer of living coral capping millions of years of accumulated limestone, that is, the accumulated shells and skeletons of sea creature. Fossil evidence suggests that coral reefs have existed on earth for about 450 million years but Queensland Great Barrier Reef is a much newer structure.

Coral Reefs are renown for their abundance and diversity of life and colour. All life forms including coral, plants, anemones, jellyfish, sponges, worms, crabs, sea slugs, giant clams, starfish, sea urchins, fish and turtles create a spectacular marine environment of constant movement and unending variety. The Great Barrier Reef supports 12 species of sea grass and 500 kinds of algae, 400 species of hard corals, 1500 species of fish, 4000 kinds of molluscs (clams, snails ), 7 species of turtle as well as being home to whales, dolphins and dugongs.

Animals Living In This Habitat

• Coral
• Dugong
• Loggerhead Turtle
• Parrot Fish

The extra threat included in this Menagerie™ ADD-ON Habitat is:

Climate change - could alter weather patterns including temperatures and precipitation. The sea level may rise.

The extra management strategy included in this Menagerie™ ADD-ON Habitat is:

Climate change - extensive research into possible ecological impacts of climate change is needed. Educational programs and legislation to reduce greenhouse gasses could reduce global warming.

Designed to compliment your Australian Menagerie game with additional animals, habitats and more players.

Jagged mountains, lush valleys, glacial lakes, spectacular rivers, ancient rainforests, sedgelands and hundreds of kilometres of pristine coastlines are found in western and southern Tasmania. This diversity of land forms supports a wide range of vegetation types including some remnants of past climates and 1500 years old pine trees.

When the region was nominated for world heritage listing it was described as 'the last great temperate wilderness remaining in Australia and one of the last in the world'. This expanse of wilderness and the inability of some feral animals, eg foxes to reach the island of Tasmania has provided a safe habitat for many small mammals such as the Tasmanian devil, Eastern quoll, Tasmanian pademelon, Tasmanian bettong, which, although once common on the mainland are now only found in Tasmania.

Animals Living In This Habitat

• Eastern Quoll
• Giant Freshwater Crayfish
• Orange-bellied Parrot
• Tasmanian Devil

Designed to compliment your Australian Menagerie game with additional animals, habitats and more players.

Rugged mountains with fast-flowing rivers and spectacular waterfalls rise abruptly from the sandy beaches, rocky headlands and mangrove forests that form the interface between the ocean and the rainforest on Queensland's north east coast.

The mountains catch passing clouds causing heavy rain to fall for much of the year. The combination of heavy rain and high temperatures creates an ideal environment for plants to grow and the coastal slopes and lowlands are renown for their diversity of vegetation.

Among the lush forests of the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area (approx 894000 ha) between Cooktown and Townsville there are at least 483 species of plants that are considered rare or threatened. Tall trees, ferns, palms, orchids, vines, moss and fungi live together in rainforest communities. The tallest plants use their branches and leaves to reach out and catch the sunlight leaving only subdued light for the plants
growing on the forest floor.

The diversity of rainforest vegetation, in turn, supports a rich diversity of animals. The nutrient rich, damp, warm environment provides the ideal living conditions for many invertebrates, birds, reptiles, amphibians and mammals.

Animals Living In This Habitat

• Cairns Birdwing Butterfly
• Cassowary
• Crocodile
• Striped Possum

What is a Walkbout?

Going on a 'Walkabout’ is not an aimless wandering, but it is a deliberate - focused journey that connects Aboriginal people to the lands and spiritual obligations.

An Aboriginal person who is on ‘walkabout’ connects with their spiritual obligations the songlines or pathways that were formed by their ancestors at the beginning of time. These songlines crisscross all over Australia and connect waterholes, food sources, landmarks and shelters.

No child will be able to resist measuring themselves against this totem pole of Australian wildlife characters!

Turtle General Information

2 types of turtle live in Australia’s waters – the Marine Turtles and Freshwater Turtles.
Marine turtles have lived in the oceans for over 100 million years and Australia has 6 marine turtle species.

All marine turtle species are experiencing serious threats to their survival. The main threats are pollution and changes to important turtle habitats. Other threats include accidental drowning in fishing gear, over-harvesting of turtles and eggs and predation of eggs and hatchlings by foxes, feral pigs, dogs and goannas.

Australia has 23 species of freshwater turtle. Australia does not have any of the true land-based tortoises that are found on all other continents except Antarctica.

The Barn Owl is one of the world’s most widespread species of owls. At night, its pale form may be glimpsed in a car’s headlights while it’s flying silently over open country, especially grassy areas and farmland on all continents (except Antarctica, where its preferred habitats do not occur). Its white, heart-shaped facial disc is characteristic and assists the bird in finding food by concentrating noises, as the owl hunts by night by hearing its prey to locate it as well as by seeing it.

General Dolphin Information

There are over 30 different species of Dolphin around the world, many living in the waters around Australia. The most common species of Dolphin is the Bottlenose Dolphin. Dolphins are warm-blooded mammals and give birth to live young, breathe air and have a very social nature.

Dolphins are in great threat from a wide variety of objects and actions within the water. They and other marine life often get caught in fishing lines, and have difficulty with Stainless Steel hooks caught in their mouths. Human rubbish and other waste products can also be swallowed by Dolphins, causing pain and even death. They also often have difficulty getting out of the way of speed boats and jet skis.

You can help our dolphins and marine life by disposing of your rubbish properly and even picking up any you see on the beaches and putting it in a rubbish bin.
