Prior forecasts and reports were not promising for the Adelaide Zoo on Sunday July 12 2009. Weather forecast was for heavy showers and reports from some, suggested that the zoo is not at its best. However, as it turned out this was not the case, on both accounts.
I can’t remember the last time I was at the zoo, but for some reason I didn’t want to miss this day. That must have been the case for Stephen Robertson too, Steve was the FIRST person to arrive.
As it turned out, a total of 18 members and “honorary members” (family) gathered for the zoo opening at 9.30am. We all knew there would be an admission charge, but we didn’t anticipate an increase of $4 above the $22 Michael was advertising. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get Michael to come good to cover the difference for all.
After a group photo we all separated to explore the zoo at our own individual pace. However, there were many occasions we crossed paths – time to compare results, exchange photography tips, advice about the zoo or for some, a chance to recharge the “batteries” over morning tea from the café.
A very enjoyable social outing was had by all
Cheers
Neil Gray
