TARONGA ZOO UPDATE....behind the scenes

[hugsta]

Well, for those that are coming bts on Saturday, I have the tickets. It has been paid for and has been organised.........finally. 8)

This is the list of ppl whom I paid for: A=adult and C=children

NCHERPS - 1A
Nicole - 2A
Instar - 2A 2C
Nigmax - 1A
Hugsta - 2A
Lutzd - 2A
Bryony - 1A
Sheralyn - 1A 2C


If there is anyone that has been missed (which I doubt) please Pm me with details so I can rectify the problem.


The meeting time for the bts tour is at the same time as the APS meeting which is 11am. There will be 2 tours the first at 11am and the second at 1pm.

As a special treat they have organised to feed the Komodo Dragon at 11am for us to watch. So please BRING YOUR CAMERAS & VIDEOS. The Komodo is only fed once a month and was fed only last week. So they are giving him an extra feed for us. So many thanks to Dr Peter Harlow and Michael McFadden for organising this for us.

As for the tickets, I have them in my little hands to be collected. I live in Kellyville and anyone that would prefer to pick them up before the day is more than welcome. Please contact me to make arrangements for their pickup. I will help you out as much as I can so you and I will be as inconvenienced as possible.

If you are unable to pick them up then you will have to organise to meet me at the gates on the day.

If you have any question then please PM me.

Regards
Daz


PS here are some little sample piccies that I took today while paying.
Cheers

After what I saw on Monday I am sure it will be. I got to hold a giant gecko and actually touch a Gila Monster which is up there getting to hold a 14-15ft oenpelli.

I also am looking forward to seeing the Komodo being fed.
