Dubbo is only about 140 km from Orange, but being out of the mountains has given us much more acceptable temperatures. Although a city of 34,000 people, it doesn't have a lot to offer the tourist, but the golf course has 27 holes so we've had 2 games to make sure we saw the whole course.
Dubbo's main claim to fame is the open range zoo, which has been showcasing Australian and exotic animals since 1977. We haven't been to a zoo for a few years so decided to have a day out with the animals. Our day started very early as we rose at 5:45 in order to join the 6:30 am guided walk. We were glad we did, as we got to see quite a bit 'behind the scenes', and it is in the morning that the animals are at their most active. The meerkat troupe definitely stole the show, they would have to be just about the cutest animals on the planet, but the giraffe with his long blue tongue would have come in a close second.
