Glamping at Taronga Western Plains: was it worth a 840 km trip for an awful tent in a zoo? [MRC #19]

In the 19th video in my 'Mindset Reset Challenge' series, I invite you to join me while I go on a road trip from Canberra to Dubbo to visit the incredible Taronga Western Plains Zoo—a 300-hectare open-range animal facility focused on endangered species conservation. I share highlights, travel tips, and my honest thoughts on the zoo and tent accommodation, plus rekindle my long lost love of zoology. 🔔 Like, Comment and Subscribe for more personal growth and travel adventures! 💬 Have an idea for a challenge?

The aim of my YouTube channel, Living an Unlived Life, is to publicly document my search for contentment by honouring my dreams and actively transforming regret and disappointment into a life of satisfaction in my later years. My name is Pippa CARRON and I was born in Canberra, Australia, in 1953. I strongly believe that age shouldn't be a barrier to what you choose to do in life, and that what you choose should be based on exploring your unlived dreams, especially when you are older.
