Where can I visit the most northerly Australian fauna in the world?

Apparently the Kitee (Finland) Zoo (62°02′45″N) has emus.
According to Wikipedia, Ranua, Lapland has the northernmost zoo in the world (65°56′32″N). I checked the website; it doesn't seem to have anything I recognize as Australian (it lists mainly northern birds, and a surprisingly large number of species of weasels).
I also checked the Ähtäri Zoo (62°32′20″N); nothing Australian is listed. There are a few other northern zoos:
- Reykjavík has one but I couldn't find much information
- Frösön, Sweden
In terms of feral Australian fauna, several northern European cities have feral parrots. The most common feral parrots are South American and Eurasian, but there might be Australian species present as well. (Budgerigars are also common generally, but apparently they don't survive cold winters). Example: An Indian species showed up in Edinburgh.

This page says that Tallinn zoo has kangaroos. Tallin is at 59 degrees 26 mins north. A review on this page backs it up. So does this picture.
I found a newspaper report of a ship taking a kangaroo back to Leningrad Zoo (59 degrees 57 mins N) after their only one was killed in the war, but that was in 1950 and I can find nothing to say they still have one.

Inchconnachan, 56 degrees 5 mins north, in Loch Lomond, has a population of wallabies roaming wild.

The most northerly Australian animals I've personally come across were at the Copenhagen zoo.
In addition to the not-so-unexpected Kangaroos they also have a few Tasmanian Devils, and at least one Kookaburra! According to my GPS, it's at about 55.672° N, 12.523° E.
Heading even further north, the Helsinki Zoo in Finland has both Emu and Red-necked Wallabies. It's at 60.1749° N, 24.9840° E.
Leningrad Zoo also have some Kangaroos, but it's slightly further south than Helsinki (59.9525° N, 30.3087° E)
