A low-mist morning at Sydney Zoo bends sunlight across open grass and glassed viewing platforms; wallabies hop along the meandering paths while the calls of primates punctuate the air. The design is flat and accessible, so the first impression is a steady walk through distinct habitats rather than a steep trail — you move from African boardwalks to southeast Asian enclosures and finally into open-range Australia without a single flight of stairs.
