A visit to Melbourne Zoo on my time travelling holiday to the last weekend of August 2018.
My daughter and I travelled by tram and met with my son at the entry to the Zoo. I won’t bore you with descriptions because the animals speak for themselves. You can visit the zoo’s website if you would like detailed information. I highly recommend checking it out because it is very informative.
The Meercat Keeper Talk
Keeping a lookout 
Behind the perspex 
Sitting on a log 
Seven young Meercats huddling against the cold
The Reptile House
(I wish I had recorded the names of the reptiles.)
I’m watching you 
Camouflage 
1970s green
Snakes in a tree 
Snake on a rock
Turtles bathed in green light 
Never smile at a crocodile
Fascinating Coati
(I must admit I have never seen these animals before)
Rummaging on the ground 
On the walkway 
Still rummaging
African Wild Dogs
Basking in the sun 
I’m watching you
King Leo
You can run but you can’t hide 
Make my day
Beguiling Tapir
Grazing on the grass 
Looking around
I can’t begin to tell you how sore my feet are. I have never felt like this before, the soles of my feet are burning. We stopped at the food van beside the alternate zoo entry/exit and had something to eat and a drink. The weather looked like it was about to turn so all in all we decided it was time to leave.
I look forward to returning another time as there is still so much more to see. It’s just after 4.00 pm
Hint: Still travelling in real-time? Check in again at 6.30 pm (Australian Eastern Standard Time) today.
