Things To Do
There’s nothing quite like talking to the animals, and there’s no better place to do it than at Melbourne Zoo. Here, you can see giraffes, elephants, monkeys and lions, as well as some of Australia’s curious creatures like kangaroos, koalas, wombats and Tasmanian devils. The zoo has two other locations – Werribee Open Range Zoo and Healesville Sanctuary, which is home to only native species – and plays a huge role in the conservation of endangered animals around the world. + zoo.org.au
Even while we’re being safe and socially distant, the city offers an array of attractions to entice and excite. Spring is a time of year that gets people back outdoors and exploring again. This year that’s become even more important now that we’re coming out of isolation and starting to return to normal life. Just remember that most attractions require you to book tickets in advance to maintain visitor numbers at acceptable levels.
