Melbourne Zoo's Carousel was built in 1878 in England and imported to Australia in the 1880s by an ancestor of Dorrie Freeman. The Carousel travelled the show circuit until 1963 before it finally arrived at Melbourne Zoo. Heritage Victoria oversaw the restorations of the Carousel in 2005 and it now resides and operates in the Carousel Park at the Zoo.
Dissapointingly the original music did not seem to work and it was blaring out 80's pop :(
