We left our seaside accommodation early ( very expensive) after arranging new accommodation over the mobile, then it was off to the zoo. The Zoo bills its self as one of the worlds best, it certainly an attractive place ,developed on 100 acres of hilly terrain . But its not just a zoo but also a world class Botanical Gardens,
.Like most things American it was very well organized and catered for everyone. First we took a 35 minute double decker bus tour of the main features with commentary and appropriate stops. The range of animals is very extensive,and with good info to read at each exhibition. However we were a bit surprised by the lack of free range space for bigger animals. They do have another area outside the city limits as a free range zoo, but even given that we must say the Melbourne Zoo does a great job and we should be quite proud of it.... even given this criticism, it is still a great place to visit
We finished up the day with a chair lift ride across the park, and a final check of the Australian animal section to see all was correct.
Not sure what we will do tomorrow...it will be a surprise to us all.
