It was a beautiful sunny day
at Werribee Zoo and so incredible to see animals roaming around during our open
air safari bus ride. The wildlife decided we were an interesting species and
decided to get up close and personal. Mr Franich received a surprise visit from two of his graduating IB stdents, Stephanie Kim and Max Tory.
Walking around the zoo, many
of the captive animals were out sunning themselves. The kids were really excited
to observe so many animals at close range. Many photos were taken! Some of the viewing
favourites were the lions, hippos, silverback gorillas and the really cute meerkats.
Miss Ohlin really wanted to take one home for a pet.
After lunch, with bellies
full and a spot of shopping in the wonderful gift shop completed, it was off to
Luna Park in the seaside suburb of St Kilda. The kids braced themselves against
the cold wind off the ocean, secured wristbands for unlimited rides, and were
off for three hours of fun and thrills!
Our very accommodating bus driver, Craig, dropped us off to Federation Square where we ventured to Hosier Lane for the famous street art and some colourful photo opportunities. We returned to the Square to visit a new ice cream store which is operated entirely by robots and finally it was time for a free tram ride home through the city.
By the time we were back at the hotel, dinner was served (pizza!) and everyone was keen for a warm shower and bed. We need all of our energy for tomorrow… there are more thrills and fun to come!
