Werribee Zoo

These days you cant really go to zoo's anymore. Gawking at caged animals is is now worse than murdering innocent children.
Maybe an open range research institute zoo is ok? Probably not. They are supposed to help endangered animals etc. The Werribee zoo however is the lesser of the 3 open range research save the panda zoo's in Australia that I have been to. It is small and expensive, and you cant see much. Therefore uninspired photos generally not featuring animals.

 - Outside the zoo and the horror of millions of screaming children is re-enforced before parting with your money.

 - More crazy old equipment they have not thrown out. Perhaps I could make an emergency call in case one of the ducks escapes and chases after me.

 - An old boat ran aground here so they just left it here so you can stand on it and gawk.

 - I thought it was going to be actual cats. That would be cool. But no, its a maze made out of plastic sheeting warning you about how cats eat pandas.

 - I missed the shot, stare and you can see a bird mid flight. You can feed them out of your hands, they peck into your skin and spread avian flu.
