Werribee, Sky Deck & Crown Casino

Yesterday I skipped the tennis here in Melbourne & did some sightseeing around the city.  A local recommended the Werribee Open Range Zoo because of the similarities to South Africa, where she had been.  So, this was my first stop!  It was awesome; the zoo seemed so "authentic" and non-commercialized.  They actually have aboriginal tribes living on the premises and most of the animals are free and non-domesticated.  Check out some of the pictures:








After that, lunch was at a Greek restaurant called Stalactites downtown, which was great and had an awesome atmosphere.  A walk through Chinatown and a visit to the Sky Deck, with great views of the city, and the Crown Casino followed.
