Werribee Open Range Zoo
Werribee Open Range Zoo

This zoo is a really different experience for animal lovers. Animals from the grasslands of Australia, Africa and Asia live in conditions similar to their natural habitats. Visitors can get very close to giraffes, rhinos, lions and many other animals by taking a 4WD safari tour or a guided walk through the huge zoo grounds which cover 225 hectares. It's a taste of African adventure near Melbourne.

Werribee Park & Mansion
Werribee Park & Mansion

Landscaped gardens surround a spectacular Italianate mansion which was built in the 1870s by the pioneering Chirnside Brothers. In 1923, the mansion was sold to the Catholic Church who ran it as a seminary and added several wings to the original homestead which are now occupied by the Mansion Hotel & Spa. Now under government ownership, visitors can explore the mansion, learn about the Australian pastoral empire of the Chirnside Family and enjoy the surroundings which include formal gardens, a parterre, glasshouses, open lawns, a lake, original farm buildings and a sculpture walk.
