There have been so many of them! Perhaps the one that sticks in my mind is
the "wombat cave" at (if I remember correctly)  Namadgi National Park,
outside Canberra. The entrance is very low and it is clearly aimed at
children, though almost every adult had a go at wriggling into it when I was
there. Inside was...a wombat! (albeit a stuffed one). It was a wonderful
gimmick!!! Only in Australia, you say, but, then, so is Cooper's Sparkling
Ale!
