25.01.2022 Rare pink dolphins are returning to Hong Kong! Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins (pink dolphins) had been avoiding the Pearl River Delta because of high-speed ferries traveling between Hong Kong and Macau. Now they are returning due to Covid-19 restrictions. Read more about what Sea Shepherd is doing to protect our marine wildlife worldwide at seashepherd.org

24.01.2022 Facebook Australia has partnered with #NAIDOC to launch new tools and initiatives to celebrate Indigenous people, stories, and businesses for NAIDOC Week 2020. ... Starting 8th November across Facebook and Instagram, Australians will be empowered to connect with this year’s #AlwaysWasAlwaysWillBe theme and with Indigenous-designed tools, creators, and businesses. Exclusively in Australia, Instagram will launch three new Instagram Stories stickers designed by Tyrown Waigana, the Noongar and Saibai Islander artist behind this year’s #naidocweek2020 poster. When you create an Instagram Story, you’ll see the three #NAIDOCWeek stickers at the top of your Stories tray (where you find other stickers and tools like Giphy).

18.01.2022 Today we got to head back to Rain, Hayne & Shine Farmyard in Balnarring on the Mornington Peninsula. The Farmyard offers hands on experiences with a large variety of friendly farm animals in a relaxed rustic farm setting. Make sure you head to their website and book your tickets - https://www.rhsfarm.com.au/
18.01.2022 The Story of a Spoon charts the story of a plastic spoon, from the Big Bang to the Bin Bag, and aims to raise awareness of the effects of over-consumption in our society. This video is an appeal for people to take a moment to think about how the stuff we buy came into existence, and what happens to that stuff when we no longer have use for it. https://youtu.be/eg-E1FtjaxY

14.01.2022 Today Oliver asked if we could try and find some dinosaurs... guess what we found at Dinosaur World. https://www.dinosaurworld.net.au
11.01.2022 We headed back to Werribee Open Range Zoo last week, Oliver's stand out favourite of the day was the Zoo's new Zoorassic which is filled with huge animatronic dinosaurs, a close second was the safari bus tour where we got to get up close to a range of African animals including zebras, giraffes, rhinos and more. https://youtu.be/4Vo8q9yYgIQ
10.01.2022 Happy Halloween
10.01.2022 It wasn’t until we were looking through photos this morning we realised how many zoo and farm visits we got to actually do this year so far, in between all the craziness and lockdowns. Here is where we’ve been so far in 2020 - Melbourne zoo Rain haine and shine farm Melbourne aquarium... The big goose Halls gap zoo Ballarat zoo The funky farm Werribee zoo Melbourne zoo (again) We can’t wait to get out and visit so many more
10.01.2022 Finally after months of restrictions we made it back to yesterday. Oliver had a ball, especially at the Dino Lab Stay tuned for a YouTube video later this week.
10.01.2022 Awww! New mother, Emmelina, and a new gorilla mother, Kiki, shared a sweet moment at the Franklin Park Zoo as they connected over their little bundles of joy. (: Michael Austin)
09.01.2022 Wow Did you know?
08.01.2022 Loving the days getting longer Who else is hanging out for summer?
08.01.2022 These endangered great apes need you. Since the 1950's, orangutan numbers have halved. Young orangutans are being snatched from the wild for the illegal pet trade, and their mothers often killed to fuel the illegal wildlife trade. By adopting an orangutan today, you could help WWF fund patrols to monitor orangutan populations, enforce restrictions on the trade in live animals and orangutan products, and protect and restore vital orangutan habitats - protecting them for the long-term.
07.01.2022 Have you seen any?

03.01.2022 This year has been tough for so many in all different ways but today we are looking back on our best memories of 2020. We managed to squeeze a lot in to the year between lock downs. We visited Halls Gap and Ballarat, explored our local area a lot more and ticked some more zoos off our list. In 2020 we visited -... Melbourne Zoo Healesville Sanctuary Werribee Open Range Zoo The Funky Farm Halls Gap Zoo Ballarat Zoo Raine Hayne & Shine Farm The Big Goose We can't wait to see what 2021 brings.

01.01.2022 Yesterday we celebrated Oliver turning 5 with the help of some very special guests thanks to The Funky Farm and Aussie Wildlife Displays. If you are looking for something special for your little animal lovers special day we can't recommend these guys enough! Thank you so much for making Ollie's birthday extra special and a day none of our guests will forget. Our biggest goal with Oliver's Travels is to share our love of animals with everyone and yesterday we got to do this with our closest friends and family.
01.01.2022 It’s scary (or wonderful!?) to think that this year is nearly over. This Christmas, we have a favour to ask: please consider buying local and supporting Aussie ...businesses that have done it tough in 2020. A Zoos Victoria Membership is a great gift for anyone looking to spend a bit less time at home and a little more time outside with nature in 2021. It’s for children, adults and most importantly, it’s for wildlife. Not only will your loved one have a ticket to the zoo they can use every day, but we’ll be able to use this money to make sure our conservation work doesn’t stop. Buy here: https://bit.ly/3eBUHmt
