Taronga Western Plains Zoo

First day in Dubbo. On a fine sunny morning we explored part of Dubbo including locating Victoria Park. Some of the competition matches were played on the three cricket grounds in the park. We then visited the information centre before going to the zoo.

The Taronga Western Plains Zoo is located approximately six kilometres from the town.

We purchased our entrance tickets and then drove the car into the viewing area. As there were lots of car parks we parked the car near the enclosures we wanted to visit and then walked around them before driving to the next group of enclosures.

A major feature of the park is the variety of rhinoceros living there.
Information about the rhinoceros project is provided near a model of one type of rhinoceros.

 At the zoo we saw a variety of animals, big and small.


Animals included elephants, giraffes, zebras, tigers, rhinos, lions, meerkats, Tasmanian devil, otters, addax and Barbary sheep.
