Melbourne – Day 3: Healesville Sanctuary

Friday 26th September, 2008 4 Comments

We headed the opposite direction today – north east of the city to the town of Healesville and the Healesville Sanctuary.

We were in this vicinity back in February when we sailed on the Navimag ferry from Puerto Montt to Puerto Natales.
