Description
The Southern hemisphere is also represented in Jappy's Wildland Adventure Kingdom. You've already seen the first part of the Australian area with Waicuckoo Mountain, here's the second part. Visible is the koala house, the kangaroo home which is currently being cleaned, a biplane used for transport in the Outback, the crocodile home, Captain Cook's Snacks and the remnants of the old zierer Rattlesnake, recently replaced with our new Disc-O coaster Boomerang.

Damn! I like this! Lovely work!
lovely work but that double wooden post by the trees is bothering me so much, why juts have it there and not all around?
Nice work!
I think the foliage especially detracts from it being Australian. I love the plane though
The building on the far right is a bid odd, especially the roof. Just seems a bit un-natural and not really believable in the world you've created.
The rest looks pretty fantastic, your last few screens for this park have been a big improvement.
The foliage isn't an issue to me... I dont really think you're going for all out themed foliage so a few objects here and there is really all you need to differentiate the areas from each other.
A plane made of brick... Kinda emblematic for your texture use in general. To be honest I think the screen is quite messy
I do think it is great but I definitely agree with liam about textures.
Corrugated iron and steel roofs? Doesnt really fit the theme at all imo.
It's flirting with being Australian haha. The steel building at the top is great in form, colour, and texture (outback buildings in Australia are literally corrugated iron or wood on occasion with steel roofs - the aesthetic is correct) however, the others aren't quite working. You could easily use brick as well for the walls.
G Force is right about the roof on the right though, the building is also too wide and not long enough. Agree with Steve, there's nothing wrong with the foliage/landscaping that's there but it could do with being more sparse and less green to better represent the outback.
theres not really cacti here... at least like that. if you're going for outback look, or maybe a rural (not outback) sort of feel, you're gonna want sparse, large eucalyptus trees. so I think those thicker, pale green trees you have seem out of place. eucalyptus trees tend to be spindly and not so 'full' feeling. look at smaller towns like broken hill, dubbo, etc. to get a bit more of a feel of the places maybe.
Thanks for all the comments, guys!
Schnupz had some tips about the foliage in the Discord, so that already has been improved. I've tried to add some gum adn eucalyptus trees, the Scots pine with added Liam-leaves. They're not perfect, but they work IMO.
About the kangaroo home, it's actually based of a real Australian barn, so I think I'm gonna keep it. Making it bigger isn't possible as the park's railway crosses the path right behind it.
The changes are definitely an improvement from the original screen, nice job, the removal and change of trees and land texture were a wise adjustment. Love the propellers on the plane, well created. I think some of the buildings could use a bit more detailing, they seem a touch plain at the moment.
I'm disproportionately annoyed by the aircraft's brick wingtips!
