A-weema-weh, a-weema-weh

Yes, the lion was sleeping. Wish I had been. Instead we were up at 5.30am and dressing in so many layers I looked like the Michelin Man.

“It’s fun”, they said.

“A not-to-be-missed experience,” the brochure claimed.

Not only was it only 3 degrees, it was a foggy day in Dubbo today. We thought the fog might have ruined the up close encounters. Instead it added a serenity until about 10am when it finally lifted.

We walked about 10 km and we’re totally exhausted, but what an experience. Not hard to tell my favourites. We are going back for more tomorrow.

  1. Just love Dubbo and Dubbo Zoo. We have been there so many times when our children were growing up. One year my hubcaps were stolen. lol, we still laugh about it. I hope they got a good price.

    1. Oh dear! We got out okay. 🙂

  2. How wonderful!! I was so disappointed we didn’t get to the zoo last year when we were on tour. I want to sleep there for a night and hear the lions roar!! But preferably when it’s a little warmer 🙂

    1. I can take a pic of the tents by the billabong. Or you can try the $400 safari rooms!!!!!!

    2. Staying overnight would be wonderful and such a treat to wake early and breakfast with the animals. Spring would be the perfect time.

      1. Spring would be VERY sensible, Veronica!!! 🙂
