they're both good... if you're 5 ;) jks
werribee is more fun. coz its a safari zoo...
both are a fair way out of the city tho and on completely opposite sides.
so you'll need a day to see each one.

Healsville is more of a national park rather than a zoo isn't it? So whether you see any animals is up to the animals :lol:
Mat :shock:

healesville is pretty boring tbh; i took my gf there when we were home. saying that - she loved it. mostly stuff in cages with some day-shows.
it didnt take too long to get to healesville tho.. i was expecting a longer drive tbh.. Worth doing once, but weribee sounds a lot nicer.

Well if your going to go to the Yarra Valley, Healville Sanctuary is about 25mins away. Depending on where you are in the Valley of course.
Oh and while your at the sanctuary, just accidently head straight through Healsville and you'll hit the Black Spur. Stop halfway along and well um you can do what you like....
Living at the doorstep of there is good fun.
