Dubbo

As we headed east towards Dubbo, we noticed the shift from outback to central NSW in the landscape, buildings and infrastructure, making us all too aware of how remote our last 10 weeks really had been.

Once in town, we wasted no time getting out to Taronga Western Plains Zoo, touring the 6km loop not once or even twice, but three times over our two day visit - more if you include Timo and Andrea’s jogging tours. We even got to do one three hour loop in an awesome little zebra safari buggy! The zoo was massive, the animals were amazing (our family favs were the spider monkeys, otters and Galapagos tortoises) and the safari buggy was great fun.

We also loved catching up with family while we were here, visiting Andrea’s cousin Dom and his family in their home for a wonderful evening together.Read more
