Day 2 Dubbo zoo

Well today (Sunday 2nd July) we drove into the Dubbo zoo and were going to walk around in between......took a pic of this bike with trailer carrying 2 little ones....sent to my boy Ray as an idea for his 

we went on the African safari bus tour 

and go to see this Giraffe quite close and if you look really hard there are kangaroos behind him laying around......now they sure have nothing to do with Africa and the guide told us they moved in years ago and now call this place home lol 

he tried to get closer but there is a 5 meter rule for the guide so off we went lol 

those huts in the distance allow people to spend the night and experience the sounds of African animals during the night 

Pea fowl who have one of the smallest brains with silliness to match 


the Ostriches were not going to have a close pic today 

it was another beautiful day


we then walked over to the Elephant area and got to see baby Sabai


2 other Elephants were grazing 

Cheetahs 


obviously Rhinos 

back in the car to drive to next section 

Zebras 

and a tiger which was not going to come closer.......

so I took a pic of a pic lol 

happy travelers 





yes a bit far away 

so a pic of a pic lol 

and a bush wallaby.....
off to do more touristy things as day was sunny with a little chill in the air xoxo

Dubbo zoo on bikes ☺

Here we are again.....this time visiting the Dubbo Zoo on Saturday 1st July and parked Winnie in their big carpark and took the bikes off the back......you can see my shadow as I take a pic of Paul ☺♥

and Woody got to ride on my pack rack lol 

This is one large zoo taronga-western-plains-zoo info here and of course love the Meerkat  



Quite a few Giraffe of many sizes 


it was fun doing the ride around, some of it uphill so a bit of walking too lol 


Zebra's having a good old graze 

there were 4 male lion cubs sitting over there.....and way up the back a lion and lioness.....very hard to see lol 

but luckily for us the male came on over and climbed on these rocks......

Roar.....

Otters doing plenty of fast swimming 

Siamang monkeys 

and almost impossible to see Lemurs......we had a good time and the ticket covers 2 days admission so the plan was to attend again on Sunday ☺

here is the Winnie at the Zoo carpark plenty of room here ☺

we then went to a nearby van park called "Discovery Parks Big4 Dubbo" we were parked on the unpowered area but the owner got us to park near a pole which had hidden power plug.....nice and easy to get in and out and booked for 2 nights......

we were next to the bmx track and all ages were enjoying it here 

and forgot to show my finished rainbow blanket which is loved by the new owners ☺♥

we walked to a club nearby for tea and here is Paul skipping down the steps on our way back ☺☺
Well will be back with part 2 of the zoo xoxo
