The animals are happy
glennandheather 8 contributions Wonthaggi, Australia Apr 23, 2013
This is the greatest zoo I have ever seen.
There is so much room for all of the animals.
We went on the Savanah safari and got a great behind the scenes look at the park. It was worth every cent. It went for 90 minutes and we got to see a black rhino, cheetah and white rhino close up as well as getting very close to other animals while in the bus.
We spent the day riding bikes around the park and were there from just after 9am to closing (at 4pm)This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.

Dubbo Open Range Zoo
reidysroaming 3 contributions Australia Oct 16, 2009
the zoo is fabulous well set out with open plains making you feel like you are on an African Sarfari on the same plains. You can't see any fences. Great behind the scenes tour where you get to feed Rhinoceros. Great to drive your car around hopping in & out at each animal enclosure, walk or ride you bike around. Great service & informative staff. You get 2 days for the one price.

Fed a Giraffee at the Western Plains Zoo.
Arriving at Dubbo we checked into a caravan park for three nights to recover from all the action of the past two weeks and also to visit Western Plains Zoo.
After a peaceful night sleep without the Tamworth music buzzing in our ears we woke-up very refreshed. We went to the Zoo and picked up our two day pass for free as we are members of Zoo … -

Finally left!
OK This is my attempt at keeping people informed of my goings on. How detailed it will be depends on my motivation at the time of writing.
So I finally left home on the morning of the 18th June 2012 and I headed west. First stop was Bathurst for the Lap of the mountain and some petrol. I didn't end up attempting this on my bike as I left home … -

African Safari in Oz
It was an early start today as we are going on an African Safari in Oz. This is a behind the scenes tour where we got to feed the gorgious Black Rhinoceros. We all got to have a turn one at a time with some branches with leaves. As rough as they seem they took the food from us very gently. We went in our little bus to the African Plains where …
