Trolley tray-ed off (13-16 July)!

Taronga Western Plains Zoo (at Dubbo) is "... an open-range zoo, where animals are located across wide open spaces." 

Visitors can walk, bike, cart or drive around a 6km one-way circuit, stopping along the way to look at exhibits.  The electric carts looked fun but we elected to save the hire fee and drive around in Elmer Fudd (putting the heater on when necessary)!  There are several picnic/BBQ areas throughout the grounds.  Even so,  on the first day we elected to use Elmer's back tray for our food prep area - because he was parked in the sun, and the picnic tables weren't!

What was on the menu?  We enjoyed a choice of corned beef or meatloaf sandwiches with either roasted vegetable chutney or onion confit (as mentioned here).  Our standard beverages (tea, coffee, hot chocolate) were available, as were some home-baked choc-chip or wholemeal date muffins.  Fruit and cold water are standard options.  Obviously, there is never any danger of starving!
