We've been to Dubbo a few times, without ever quite making it to the main attraction there: the Western plains Zoo. That's partly because it takes a full day at least to see it properly, and that hadn't quite been convenient for us.
Well this time, we made a point of getting there. We chose the bicycle hire option forgetting around, and I think it's by far the best way, even though our day there was the one day on our trip when it rained. It's about 6 kilometres around the main circuit, and you do a few more with side trips and things. Just right for a pretty leisurely day's cycling.
If there have to be zoos (and maybe there does have to be, given the increasing emphasis on and importance of, the conservation of endangered species role), then Dubbo is very much how zoos ought to be. Most of its enclosures are an order of magnitude bigger and better than those of most zoos.
