7th day - Wild Animal Park

Whenever I go to a zoo, I feel sorry for animals. They have to behave in front of human beings (which is slightly different kind of animal) without escaping out of cage, they have to show any kind of idiosyncrasy and they need to answer a call of nature in front of gallery.
Wild Animal Park is a little different type of zoo. Their purpose is to protect wild animals and they have enough land to rear animals. Animals can move all over the place and it should ease animal's stress. (Some animals such as gorilla, lion are being kept in limited small spaces, though)
The railway called 'Wgasa Bush Line Railway' is going around the park and we can take it to see the animals. It's about 60-min. course and a guide explains the animals' nature and so on.

There's no end to what we want, but I wanted to see animals up close. The park provides a special tour which allows you to go closer to animals, but it costs $130 additionally and I gave it up this time :(
