Dubbo Zoofari

We have frequently heard good reports about the Taronga Western Plains Zoo at Dubbo, and in particular the fun to be had staying overnight surrounded by big African animals.

So grand-daughter Aelie flew up from Melbourne, and we loaded up the Tesla for a road-trip to the zoo, approximately 900 km away. We stopped overnight in Armidale.

It takes a bit more planning with an EV when you move inland from the main highway.
