Day 6 - 22 May 2014


- HEALESVILLE SANCTUARY - 

Opening hours : 9am-5pm (daily)

Don't miss out this zoo when you travel around Yarra Valley. They offer closer experience with unique Australian animals, for example Koalas, Platypus, and different kind of birds. Certainly there are other animals which I can't mention each one of them. You can refer to below visitor map (taken from Healesville Sanctuary website) to see the wide range of animals they have.

After this we're heading down to one of the Yarra Valley's leading food and wine destination. Along the way we saw stunning vineyard view. Yeah that's because Yarra Valley is one of Australia's oldest and famous wine regions.
