Melbourne Zoo

In the rest day during the Melbourne trip we went to Melbourne zoo to check out their baby elephant Mali.

It turns out that most of Melbourne had a similar idea
We were allowed in in groups of 150 people for 5 minutes at a time. It was worth it though as Mali was very lively
although sometimes she just wanted to stay close to Mum
We stayed at the zoo for pretty much the whole day. I'm not a big fan of zoos and some of the cages here did seem a bit small, but they had an excellent seal house with an underwater viewing area
The penguins seemed pretty content to just dip a flipper in the water too
but sometimes it's hard to believe the animals are really enjoying it in there
