Looking at the route, it’s saying 29 hours. We can probably add on another four hours or so to account for stops and the truck travelling at slightly slower speeds; though I’ll note Zoos Victoria advised their elephants will be travelling at close to full speed on the highway as it’s more conductive to calming the elephants.

There’s a 2.5 hour time difference between Perth and Monarto, so assuming Permai departs early morning, she could arrive in the afternoon of the following day (potentially Tuesday).

So Perth zoos curator said they’ll be judging the move day on temperature. Perths forecast is Sunday: 30, Monday: 32, then climbs back up into the 40’s into the week.

So it’s either Sunday/Monday or it’s not happening. Thankfully it’ll only take just over 29 hours for her to make the trip if they go on Mondays.

I think we’ll hear tomorrow morning jaiden, no need to stay up late tonight :)

From the information we have to hand, my expectation is an announcement within Perth Zoo’s business hours that Permai left early that morning. We can definitely all get some sleep, safe in the knowledge we won’t be missing anything. :)
