Hello All.

On the road again and our next stop was Dubbo, a fast growing inland city. Famous for its  world class open range Zoo. The city is on the banks of MacQuarie River and has over half million visitors a year.Western Plain Zoo is situated on 300 Ha of bushland and has a successful breeding program.

 From the caravan park we rode our bikes to the Zoo for an early morning tour. Where they take you behind the scenes to watch them feeding the animals it was very interesting to hear all about the breeding of the many animals, they have there.

 

After watching the feeding it was time to go and be fed ourselves,as it was part of the tour.After breakfast we were able to hop our bikes and continue around the zoo, it was a beautiful morning and fun just watching the habits of the different animals I especially liked the mercats and the monkeys.

 

 From the zoo we also visited the Japenese Garden.

 

What a nice way to relax and unwind by walking around this peaceful garden, just sitting and listening to the birds,watching the little ducklings feeding on the pond, with mother watching over them.

 

The water lillies looked beautiful as the face up towards the sun giving  good show.

So it was back to the van after a very pleasant day.

The next morning we were told how many of the caravans had been broken into and had thing stolen. The theives would watch the vans and as soon as the owners went for their showers they would walk in. Bob and I always made sure that there was one of us still in the van. Also made sure we locked our car. So its better to be safe then sorry.The next day we went to see the Dubbo jail. so will report about that next time. Enjoy your reading.
