The Vibe:Five wildlife parks, one forest precinct
Rainforest north of the city holds five separate wildlife parks on adjoining land. Free shuttles connect them, so a day here can span open-concept savannah, river habitats, aviaries and nocturnal trails.
Birdcall carries across the reservoir at dawn. Trams hum along shaded roads, and the air stays several degrees cooler than downtown.
