The Werribee Zoo was awesome! When we got there we went to a place to eat our fruit. Guess who was eating next to us… A GORILLA! It was so fascinating as they ate bamboo while we ate our snack.

After that we went to a mini lesson about how Aboriginal people made things and how they used the land for things. They also gave us a gumleaf at the start that we folded in half and smelt. It smelt amazing, like green apple.

After the lesson we went on a safari bus that drove us through the savanna. We saw hippos, emus, giraffes, ostriches, and rhinos. Unfortunately the elephants have not arrived at the zoo yet.

I really liked how we had our lunch next to the hippos. Then we walked through the zoo and saw lions.

It was a great day!
