Sorry forgot the link to Healsville......

Three Great Zoos - Melbourne Zoo, Healesville Sanctuary and Werribee Open Range Zoo

I still remember going to Puffing Billy and Healvesville when I was about 3 years old.

or down to Philip Island to see the Penguins. I just LOVE the penguins. Although I suppose at 2 your daughter will probably be asleep by the time they appear.

Healseville is a good idea though.

Have fun in Melbourne and drink lots of coffee! Best coffee in the world in Melbourne.
