Australia House has been tied to several milestones connected to Australia. In 1971, a scrub tract in Australia was purchased to conserve habitat for southern hairy-nosed wombats, and later an additional 600,000 acres were set aside. In 1975, it was home to the first wombat born outside of Australia. Brookfield Zoo is currently one of only four zoos to exhibit wombats.
