Daddy's taking us to the Zoo

On this lovely Australia Day, we went off to the Melbourne Zoo. I have been not too long ago, but this time we made a point to do the Australian section and I can't stress enough how good this is. You walk into a red dirt section and the animals wander around. Not like zoos of old with single animals crammed into concrete cages, these animals roamed like in the wild. The kangaroos sat in the shade while emus searched for lettuce. The wombats were getting fed and we could talk to their keeper and even pat them! This is not how I remember the zoo. Not only were the animals comfortable, but the surrounds were all in keeping, little huts and tunnels - all very interactive and well worth a visit.
