Very few cages but open spaces (one crosses the park kangaroos and a huge sailer). You can meet the responsible stewards of animals and talk with them. The animals in the outback are well represented: kangaroos, wallabies, emeux, koalas, wombats, etc. Platypus. To get there: Take tram number 55 on William Street to stop “Royal Park”.

Melbourne has a very lively restaurants and offers a wide variety of styles. The newspaper “The Age” published a restaurant guide and there are usually a few leaders to keep track of the vast diversity. It should be noted that in most places, such as demand St. Kilda in good restaurants on Sundays or public holidays a surcharge on the regular menu price will be charged.
