There has been alot of discussion about our local zoo of late in the local media, about whether they should/can afford to stay open. I really hope it stays. At the moment it's free which is fantastic but even if they started to charge an entry fee I'm sure they would still get plenty of patronage. There are quite alot of closed exhibits but I just hate to think of what would happen to the animals if it had to close especially Ockie & Cassie, the chimpanzees. The botanical gardens was first established in 1873 so it would be such a shame to loose such a historical landmark.
Anyway, after we checked out all the animals including a cutie little 9 month old koala we headed to the playground. Jack had so much fun. Here is with crossing the monkey bars with a little help from Dad. Apparently the tongue helps too.
And here's Joe, doing it all by himself because he's a big boy. :P Just about every photo I have of Joe is of the back of his head.
Jack and Rasharna on the swings.
Jack and Daddy on top of the big pipe.

Rasharna, Dad & Jack on the little pipe. Jack thought he was pretty cool being able to get himself up on the little pipe.
After a good play on the swings we went for walk through the tropical fruit garden at the back and up to the japenese gardens. Here's a couple of flower shots...
And here's the grinning goofball. Cheeky little bugger he is.
K, I'm off. Hoping to do some digi-scrapping tonight. We'll see though.
Ciao
