Since there's not as many animals I want for Oceania compared to other continents, I'll break my list down by how much I want each animal.

Must haves:
  • Tasmanian Devil
  • Emu
Animals that I don't consider essential, but would still love to get:
  • Common Wombat
  • Goodfellow's Tree Kangaroo
  • North Island Brown Kiwi
  • Red-Necked Wallaby
Ones that I would like, but are lower priority:
  • Perentie
  • South Island Takahe
  • Little Blue Penguin
  • Echidna
 
  1. North Island brown kiwi.
  2. Tasmanian devil.
  3. Red-necked wallaby.
  4. Little blue penguin.
  5. Emu.
  6. New Zealand fur seal.
  7. Kunekune pig.
  8. Common wombat.
  9. Lace monitor.
  10. Cape Barren goose.
And exhibit:
  1. Tuatara.
  2. Frilled lizard.
  3. Bearded dragon.
  4. Eastern snake-necked turtle.
  5. Goliath stick insect.
  6. Social huntsman spider.
 
Apparently the Saitama Children’s Zoo in Japan is the only place outside Australia that houses quokkas, being gifted with 4 individuals from Featherdale Wildlife Park in 2020 to celebrate their 40th anniversary, so they're comparable to platypuses in regards to their international presence. They're relatively common in zoos here in Australia and I'd love to have them, but they're a bit of a lower priority for me compared to other macropods at the moment (tree kangaroos, larger wallabies and the long-nosed potoroo are more essential IMO).
 
As the Australian Pack is a scenery pack launched before, I would like to have an animal pack. I'm looking forward to hear your opinions to it. My wishlist meets the standard of continents and niches.

Tasmanian Devil(EN, flagship)
Southern Hairy Nosed Wombat(CR, burrowing animal)
Matschie's Tree Kangaroo(EN, tree hanging animal)
Yellow Footed Rock Wallaby(NT, rock climbing animal)
Emu(LC, giant bird)
North Island Brown Kiwi (VU, ground dwelling bird)
Tuatara(VU, reptile)
Lord Howe Island Stick Insect(CR, exhibit animal)
Exception of Laughing Kookaburra in an Aviary Pack

Greetings from Taiwan.
 
Most zoos lack a high number of Australian animals and diversity due to strict import laws and even more difficult if the animal is endangered. My local zoo was loaned two koalas from the San Diego zoo this summer and since their endangered had to get permits from the Australian government and a bunch of other hoops to get them. We do have wallaby as the only Australian animals. That being said my personal wishlist would be:
1) Wombat
2) Wallaby Bennetts preferably
3) Emu
4) Tasmanian Devil
5) Echidna
6) Kiwi (not to familiar with NZ animals but I’d definitely take these
7) Freshwater Crocodile although I’d probably prioritize a Nile or American if we only got one more crocodilian.

Exhibit:
1) Frilled lizard
2) Bearded dragon
3) Lorde Howe Insect
4) Carpet python
5) Green Tree Python

That being said I really don’t have a lot of oceana animals as I personally prefer other continental animals more but a couple more oceana animals are definitely needed.

Southern Corroboree Frog (Pseudophryne corroboree)
Sydney Funnel-Web Spider (Atrax robustus)
Thorny Devil (Moloch horridus)
Tuatara (Sphenodon punctatus)
If we get Aviaries:
Australian Magpie (Gymnorhina tibicen)
Barn Owl (Tyto alba)
Budgerigar (Melopsittacus undulatus) - Not too sure about domestic variants, but most overseas zoos keep the domestic variety so idk.
Eclectus Parrot (Eclectus roratus)
Galah (Eolophus roseicapilla)
Ghost Bat (Macroderma gigas)
Gouldian Finch (Chloebia gouldiae)
Kea (Nestor notabilis)
Laughing Kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae)
Palm Cockatoo (Probosciger aterrimus)
Raggiana Bird-of-Paradise (Paradisaea raggiana)
Rainbow Lorikeet (Trichoglossus moluccanus)
Regent Honeyeater (Anthochaera phrygia)
Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo (Cacatua galerita)
Tawny Frogmouth (Podargus strigoides)
Wedge-Tailed Eagle (Aquila audax)
Additional Assorted Cockatoo Species I'm too lazy to list (the three I have are the most important imo).
Additional Bird Species that I never bothered to list because I see them daily (lapwings, honeyeaters, curlews).
 
I would personally be satisfied with "Animal Pack" worth of quantity to round up missing species from down under

So I see three must haves for me, as per my experience in EU zoos:

-Emu
-Bennet's Wallaby
-Black Swan

Now those are pretty boring choices, although staples, so the next three animals would need to rebalance with their exoticness:

-Tasmanian Devil
-Common Wombat
-Lace Monitor (As I've heard Perentie isn't that present in EU and NA)

Place is left for 7th animal and although this makes me pretty satisfied, one diversity pick from broader Oceania wouldn't hurt. Two best candidates for that would be Kiwi or Tree Kangaroo

And with animals already in game that would satisfy me greatly. Add in an exhibit species like Frill Neck Lizard and we're golden.
