      Yep

      Halls Gap residents told to leave immediately, holiday-makers urged to stay away as Grampians fire more than triples in size

      That area is somewhat fire prone, so I imagine they must have some kind of procedure in place at the zoo. Maybe emergency transfers to the Melbourne Zoo? On the one hand, I can’t imagine them just leaving the poor babies there, but on the other, I can’t imagine anyone loading some rhinos and parrots into the back of a ute and driving 4ish hours into melbourne

      E: actually according to the article:

      At Halls Gap Zoo, owner Mark Treweek has taken some of the animals — including a python — to his house to keep them safe.

      Birds, other reptiles and mammals are among the precious cargo, while some of the bigger animals, or those that don’t want to be shifted, remain at the zoo with the sprinklers on.
