Guess I'll kick it off then, today some of the Sydney members of this site headed to Featherdale Wildlife Park, around 30 or so turned up and I must say it was fantastic! I had not been there before and was amazed by the amount of species of australian wildlife they had.

It was a bird lovers paradise, even though i am not into birds at all they had some amazing guys there, the owls were also a highlight. Lutz will put a folder up tonight im sure but here is a sneak peak of some shots.

The tour included a small behind the scenes of the reptile section too which features a huge olive python. The enclosures were awesome. Pete has already decided to build a setup like the one for the big lacies at his place too!

Was a good couple of hours and nice to put some faces to names.

First up the Reptiles.

Hey mate, that Perentie shot is awsome. And the photo does not show how huuuge that Frillie is. And don't forget the dare devil EWD that took on the croc. And in the middle of summer!! Although I did notice he wasn't there the next tiime we walked past. :( And a bit of advice for new members. If you have your name in your nickname and your photo in your avator everyone knows who you are when you meet up.

What a wonderful day. Look forward to meeting you all again soon. (very soon Pugs!!)
 
Oh yeah, sorry dialup.. here are some of the other guys we saw.
