Werribee wanderings..

Right now Werribee has more to offer than its usual slightly pungent aroma.

The Helen Lempriere National Sculpture Award is on at Werribee Park until May 27th. Launched in 2000, this is Australia’s richest prize for sculptors and features an eclectic bunch of site-specific and monolithic explorations.

While in Werribee go check out the wild animals. No, not the ones speeding down the Princes Fwy in their hotted up WRX’s. The real wild animals of Werribee Open Range Zoo. The recently opened Kubu River Hippo ‘experience’ is well worth checking out. The zoo has had several upgrades over the years by various LA's. If you don’t go for the animals, go for the great design.
