Dubbo was a surprise. We ended up staying 3 nights at the
Big 4. It was great and we met up with some lovely people and the girls made a
lot of friends. We first went to the Taronga Western Plains Zoo. You can drive
your car around the whole zoo and get out and walk to the animals, then hop
back in and drive to the next lot. The fencing is designed so you don’t feel
like there is a cage or anything between you and the animals. We all loved it.
We even organised to feed the giraffes, which was Lily’s favourite thing to do.
They had 4 baby giraffes and 8 adults. There was so many animals at the zoo including
gibbons, elephants, all types of antelopes, lions, tigers and even more
animals, too many to list, and it is definitely a must visit place if you are
ever that way. Chloe loved the meerkats (there was two meerkat babies as well)
and the lemurs. I think she could watch them for hours. Emma loved to watch to
monkeys and took lots of photos of them climbing and playing (secretly I think
she’s our little monkey and can relate).
So we decided the next day to go to Parkes to see ‘THE DISH’
from the movie with the same name. The dish was used to transmit satellite
images of the first walk on the moon in 1969 by Neil Armstrong and crew. It was
interesting but not exciting and the girls didn’t have patience to watch long
movies about the dish and its functionality. The actual town of Parkes was
lovely, you need to travel a little further to get there because the dish is in
the middle of nowhere.
Now its back on the road again. We stopped in Nyngan for
lunch and back in the car to Cobar.
