We formally invite you and your guests to join us at Werribee Open Range Zoo for an exclusive and intimate celebration honouring the first anniversary of the opening of the Elephant Trail.

You helped us pack and unpack the trunks of Zoos Victoria’s Asian elephant herd as they made their historic move to Werribee Open Range Zoo - a moment that has redefined the standard of welfare for elephants in protected environments.

This move was years in the making. Now, one year on, we will take a moment to reflect and say thank you to all those who made it possible.

Hear directly from the leaders and experts who helped shape this remarkable transition, as they share insights into the elephants’ first year in their expansive new habitat. What was once a dream on the horizon is now a reality – one only possible through your generous support and belief in our vision.

We look forward to welcoming you.

With gratitude, 
Zoos Victoria
