This zoo has over 300 species of animals, and is only 4 km from the city center. Melbourne itself is the capital city of the state of Victoria and second most populous (3.8M as of 2007) in Australia.
Founded by free settlers in 1835, Melbourne had a "gold rush" in the 1850's which helped it become the most important city of the British Empire in 1865. But in the 20th century, Sydney overtook this city in terms of size and popularity. But as we walk through Melbourne, we can't help but fall in love with this great metropolis. We were walking along a park in the middle of the city when a wallaby approached us from nowhere - in a friendly way.
