      <title>Off To The Zoo!</title>
      <link>https://www.whwt.org.nz/journal/off-to-the-zoo</link>
      <description>When was the last time you went to the zoo!? For most of us, it's been many years since we last visited Wellington Zoo, but for some, going to the Zoo has never really been an option – So this was a very exciting outing for us and first time experience for some of our wāhine! We arrived nice and early with our packed lunches and spent the whole day exploring all of the cool enclosures.</description>
