Taronga Western Plains Zoo - Part 2

Never mind the fact that these photos are from LAST school holidays and I am obviously so far behind in everything that I despair of EVER catching up; here are the rest of the zoo photos as promised in Part 1 some time ago...

My children are part monkey, they HAVE to climb on everything!  Thankfully the zoo caters for children such as mine and there are plenty of things for them to scramble on.

I love the zebras.  They are one of my favourite animals.  I love the distinctive stripes and the fact they are like fingerprints; all different.  I also think I like their similarity to horses.

We sat and watched the zebras standing in the warm sun for awhile before moving.  There was a baby foal that was very new but the mum was smart enough to have the foal in the middle of the big yard as far away from people as she could get.

More climbing...

This was a highlight.  The Galapagos Tortoises were under the heat lamps in the shed with the exception of this fellow.  He not only braved the chill but came over for a gentle pat.  The children loved it and it was very awe inspiring. 

Such wonderful animals with their wizened eyes.

There you go.  Given we visited way back in July this post has been a long time coming.  I have a lot of other things to catch up on too but I don't want to rush these things..!

Taronga Western Plains Zoo - Part 1

During the last school holidays, (5 weeks ago now!) we took a trip to Dubbo to visit the Taronga Western Plains Zoo.  It was an amazing experience for both children and I am so glad we went.

I took about 1000 photos and realised that my memory card was not big enough.  That has since been remedied so I will be ready for the next big outing; whenever that may be.

Because there are so many photos I have picked a few for this post and will save the rest for another day.  This is really my way of saying I still have not sorted them all out, but I am getting there... slowly... 

So many photos!
