A short, incomplete visual tour of Dubbo, NSW

If you are in or near Dubbo, and as far as I'm concerned that includes Sydney, go to the Western Plains zoo. Then get on a bike, or walk. Take your time. Take 2 days. Take a picnic. Enjoy. Go on, you know you want to...

OTOH I was still a bit depressed seeing those magnificent animals penned up. More room than at a traditional zoo, sure... and lots of good work going on in conservation terms, too - but still slightly sad that this is how we wish to view "nature": behind an electric fence or a moat. Of course the birdlife could (mostly) fly away, not so the larger animals. The litter (school hols, of course) and the weeds were a bit off-putting too. Overall, good, not great. Kids liked it.
