Not listed. Parts of the zoo that are heritage listed are:
- the front gate, along with the front fence and associated paths.
- octagonal galah house, now housing macaws.
- giraffe house
- great flight aviary
- the 'mandrill house' - the empty old-style barred enclosure on the main drive.
Why don't they turn the old Ape Grottoes into a Baboon exhibit? Its already there and just needs a makeover and removing the interior dividing walls and it would be fine.
The mystery exhibit between the old bongo exhibit and the giraffes is solved - and with an answer that should have been obvious all along.
The bongo are now in that exhibit, and the old bongo exhibit is being cleared to make way for the baboons. It's much smaller than the former exhibit, but as the trees grow it will start to suit them much better. The former enclosure was not at all suited to a forest antelope
FWIW, I hope they stay there. I think they offer more to Melbourne than they would at Werribee anyway. At Melbourne, they are the only bovid species. At Werribee, they would be one of 7, and that's only counting the ones on display.
