Healesville Sanctuary was established in 1934 and
covers 74 acres. It is a zoo specialising in native Australian animals and has
a history of breeding rare and endangered species. It was about an hours drive from Steve and Natasha’s home,
so we all decided to spend today here.
This was our last full day with Jules and Nicky, before they left for a few days in Japan.
It was a very interesting day seeing some animals that
are not easy to find outside captivity, especially the Tasmanian Devil and
Echidna.
