We arrived in Melbourne to be greeted by my cousins Sue and Albert and I knew our few days before the zoo would be full of spoiling and home comforts. It was so nice to have our own comfy room after a month staying in hostels. We slept in, had a walk along the beach, went shopping, caught up with family, had a quick explore of the city, met up with Sirach and had a few drinks with Vicky and Dave in the Neighbours stars' local pub before jumping on the bus to Mansfield Zoo. Hopefully we won't be bitten by any snakes or attacked by lions and dingos!
