Following last year’s tradition of Christmas at the Zoo, Snookums and I have just booked ourselves a holiday weekend away at the Western Plains Zoo at Dubbo. We’re going to be staying at the Zoofari Lodge and apparently we get to go on three behind-the-scenes safari tours. (Which should be fun for those of us with irrational fears of animals.) The second night we’ll be staying in a honeymoon spa squite at Cattleman’s, “the only NRMA rated four and a half star motel” in Dubbo. Should be fun! Oh, and we’re going to rent a car for the five hour drive out there. I was all excited thinking we were going to be getting into the Outback… but not so much. (As I understand it, the Outback really only begins once you get past Bourke.)
