The open zoo has improved alot since my first
visit and each year it seems to be a little better this pic i took in april this year .
It show just how close you get to these Animals giving us glimpse of africa in our own back yard so to speak.
From what I seen on tv's getaway program you can stay over nigh in tents or cabins (i'm not sure which)
The keepers give you guided early morning tour.
it's amazing just how far modern Zoo's have come from the horrible days of distressed looking animals confined to what was nothing better than a cell block .
I couldn't say just how many varieties of animals roam here
nor could I tell you the size the zoo is set on.
What i can tell you for sure is it a worth while trip and even just 2 hours might be enough if your pushed for time Leave a Comment

Melbourne is listed as having 3 zoo's but the free range open range zoo in werribee probably deserves a listing under either melbourne or geelong being some what in the middle.
Today I visited the zoo again since it's early days and it has improved alot and continues to do so each year.
Price for adults is about 15.50 ,children I forget .
There is a safari bus trip around the zoo which takes roughly 50 mins and is included in the trip and is well worth it.
there are also walking tracks around the zoo with one spot allowing you to become face to face with some cheetaha's (though from the safety of behind glass.
The Zoo shows animal is a very good way having some kind of freedom and although it's never going to match the city zoo in terms of money ,animals ect it really does get better each year and is well worth a good 4 hours look at Leave a Comment Phone: 03 9731 9600Website: www.zoo.org.au Other Contact: email = vorz@zoo.org.au
