DAY 2

DUBBO - TAMWORTH MONDAY 18TH JANUARY
We begin our morning touring at the Taronga Western Plains Zoo - home to more than 1100 animals from around the world, many of them endangered species. The zoo is in the unique position to allow many of the animals to roam freely and to be viewed without the visual barriers of fences, bars or glass, instead using a system of dry and water filled moats. A zookeeper will step onboard our coach and explain the open range layout and some of the behind-the-scenes operations of the Zoo. Enjoy lunch here before continuing our journey on to Tamworth where we check into our hotel. We have some free time this afternoon before we meet again over dinner.
