Dubbo Zoo
I decided to take my two sons (plus one son's girlfriend) to the zoo and so we went on a Zoofari. It was the best experience I've had for a long time. We had three 1+ hours behind the scenes tours, which included watching feeding (lion, tiger, hippos, rhino, elephants, hunting dogs, maned wolf, cheetah, siamang apes, tortoises, meekats, among others) and we actually got to feed a giraffe ourselves. It was the most magical experience. You're looking up and this great big head is all you can see and time stands still. We also spent hours watching the Siamang apes (well it seemed like hours). We were lucky enough to catch them in action and calling out to each other on the first day and were taken in. Although we didn't get a repeat performance the next day or even on our tour, they were fascinating to watch. Plus there were lots of different horse-like and dear-like creatures, and buffalo and bison and the list just goes on and on. There were even alpacas! The zoo is not just for kids!
