Catching Up


Well, this is my second blog and seeing as i'm getting a small clue what to do i'm going to "back track" with some photos etc from our Dubbo trip on the June long weekend.
We visited Dubbo for three days and this was our first trip away in our lovely little Jayco van. We had plenty of rain on the first day, a very cold second day and the sun came out for the third day. Our main purpose was to visit the zoo, but we did a few other things along the way (Dubbo Gaol, the movies and KidZoo play centre) which kept us busy and occupied.
Western Plains Zoo is just gorgeous ... I love the atmosphere with the animals in large areas which portray their natural environment. Most of the animals (well, the non dangerous ones) are only seperated from the public by gullies which prevent them from climbing up/out. I have to say my favourites were the giraffes and the zoo's new addition - baby zebra (which was 4 days old). The zoo currently has an offer whereby your entry tickets are valid for 2 days, so when the following day came out lovely and sunny we decided to go back for the morning ... and ... Blake was anxious to take a photo of the meerkats (they were hibernating from the cold weather the previous day).
Dubbo Gaol is a very interesting place also ... plenty to see and experience.
All in all it was a great weekend and we are now planning our next trip in October ... a whole month travelling the South Coast, Great Ocean Road and Victoria!
Cheers,
Julie
