Taronga Western Plains Zoo, formerly and commonly known simply as Western Plains Zoo, is a large zoo located in New South Wales, near the city of Dubbo. It is run by the Taronga Conservation Society and is home to many unique and special animals, which require more room than can be found at Taronga Zoo, in Sydney. One such example of an animal is the Galapagos Tortoise. If you’re in Sydney, and do not have time to visit Dubbo, at least ensure you visit Taronga Zoo Sydney at least once, which is home to many interesting animals but also boasts fantastic views of Sydney Harbour. Furthermore, if you’re traveling up the coast into Queensland, make sure you stop at Australia Zoo, Home of the Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin, and his many reptile friends.
