Kimbara, the wild Australian Outback

Hello adventurers! Cosmo and the Koalas are back from their travels - and yet another land has been rescued from the phantoms! So hurry up and travel Down Under into Jamaa's Australian Outback, called Kimbara!

First of all, Kimbara is a word in Kiswahili, a language used in eastern Africa. It means pulpit - which is specifically a raised platform in a church - but here it must just mean a raised platform.

Well come along on our little Safari tour in the outback! Please, leave nothing but a pawprint (lol), and take nothing but a photo.We will begin by crossing this bridge out of the town.

Then, after a hike into the wilderness, you should arrive in Kimbara! (Or of course you could warp using the new map, but that is no fun).

Then, after fighting your way through a crowd, you should arrive in the new land. Yes, it is incredibly crowded, but it should clear up in a week or so. The first thing you should see is the Kimbaran Falls - cascading over the layered sandstone cliffs. It forms a creek that leads to the ocean. Cross that creek, and you will see an old building made by the Kangaroos a long time ago. Watch out for the rattlesnake!

Now follow me as we go on the Kimbara - the platform leading up to the cliffs. Here you will have a good view of the Jamaa main island. Pixelation? What? Nah, it's just your sunglasses...

Now come along to your right. Here you can cool off in the mist of the falls. Behind this door is an area still being explored. It should be open to the public soon.

Now, before we finish this tour, lets take the shuttle bus into the Conservation Museum in Appondale, where we will learn about the Kangaroo, the animal rescued along with this new land. Here you can learn all there is to know about Jamaa's newest animal, and please donate to help our endangered animals.

Thank you for coming along on this tour! Come again!

Heart Locket & New Land

First the boring news, Heart Lockets are now for sale in Jam Mart Clothing. I believe they are the same colors as before.

Now for the awesome news! First of all there is a new "About Us" page on the AJ website. At the bottom of the page it has links to a new Facebook and Twitter account - Animal Jam Parents. On the new Facebook page we have a brand new video, about online safety.

That isn't very interesting... except for one thing. They show lands in the background of the video. Lost Temple of Zios, Appondale, and - a new land? You can see it best at 1:32. It isn't like any land we have today. It is probably some type of jungle... I can't wait!

It also appears in the Twitter background of their AJ Parents Twitter. If you use this image please give credit! Click for full size:

That is definitely a new land. We haven't had a new land since Appondale in April 2011! Most of you don't know how exciting it is to walk in a new land - not ocean - for the first time. It's very full, and when you finally get in its so overwhelming. New games, rooms, and so much to explore! I've expirienced this when Mt. Shiveer and Appondale came out. I am going to have the hardest time waiting!

I'm almost possitive the new land will be here on the map. It has the same terrain as our new graphics!
