Western
Plains Zoo
Located
just 4km from the heart of Dubbo City,
Western PLains Zoo is truly the premier
tourist attraction in regional Australia.
One thousand animals roam here, free
of cages. Moats, some dry, some water
filled, keep the animals enclosed
in a stimulated native habitat.
The unique
environment of the Zoo provides a
natural theatre of animals in the
wild and at play. From the antics
of the Siamang Apes to the preying,
piercing eyes of the stalking Cheetah,
you will nee to take time to experience
the spontaneity of mother nature.
