Let's see:

Tasmanian Devil
Kiwi (any species)
Sulphur Crested Cockatoo (since Exhibit Birds are allowed)
Tree Kangaroo (prefer Goodfellow's or Matschie's preferred but open to others)
Kookaburra (another exhibit bird)
Grey Kangaroo
** Sulawesi Bear Cuscus (this may not count, Sulawesi is right at the Asia/Oceania zone line, so partly in Asia and partly in Oceania.
Frilled Lizard
Little Blue Penguin
Hairy Nosed Wombat (either species)
Major Mitchell's Cockatoo (another exhibit bird obviously)
Thorny Devil
Numbat
Echidna
Black Swan
Galah (another exhibit bird)
Quokka
Kea
Tiger Quoll
*a second Tree Kangaroo, it would be great to get both Goodfellow's and Matschies. (ignore if it doesn't count since I'm not specific and it depends on what the first TK would be)
 
Here is my list with what I think are essential for the region to feel complete to me bolded/stared:
  1. North Island Brown Kiwi *
  2. Rainbow Lorikeet
  3. Tasmanian Devil *
  4. Victoria Crowned Pigeon
  5. Little Blue Penguin

  17. Matschie's Tree-Kangaroo *
  18. Budgerigar
  19. Cockatiel
  20. Cockatoo (any) - Could be a WE with several species
The Budgies, Cockatiels, and Loris would make for a good interspecies Walkthrough Exhibit and offer a variety of color variations.
