The primary reason for our visit to Dubbo was the Western Plains Zoo on the outskirts of the town. It is well known for its project work across the world and mainly houses large mammals. This meant no crocs, snakes or spiders. Andrea was particularly pleased about this. We got there early and walked the 5 Miles around the park, making sure we saw all of the animals. The Siamang Apes were particularly vocal and amazingly agile. A few of our favourite photos are below.
Tomorrow we are travelling West from Dubbo into the heart of the New South Wales Outback to the small town of Broken Hill. In the UK the 9 hour drive would usually be quite daunting, but we are both actually really excited about seeing some of the Australian Outback. We have already filled the car with petrol and have bought extra bottled water, just in case. Hopefully there will be some more interesting photo opportunities ahead….
