		Healesville is located about 120 kilometres from Melbourne.
		But Healesville Sanctuary to me is the complete zoo, the only one I have ever visited where the visitor can actually see the three aims of zoos in practice; conservation with their breeding of endangered species, research - for example into the causes of bush die back and education with their excellent educational centre.
		I would need to find my notebook to demonstrate that Healesville has much more to offer the visitor in the way of Australian wildlife than Melbourne but the best way is simply to go there - and on Victoria's superb integrated transport system it is easy and cheap to do on public tranport.
