Adelaide Zoo
We have found finding our way around Adelaide quite easy,
but finding our way to the car park to Adelaide Zoo was like finding the Holy
Grail. Eventually we found our way in
and headed straight for the Panda’s. We
arrived just in time for the Zookeeper talk.
The Panda was given some bamboo to eat.
She grabbed a paw full of bamboo and promptly turned her back on us and started
gnawing. She looked so funny sitting
there with her fat little body and little black ears sticking up. Mr Panda in the next enclosure was having a
snooze. After Mrs Panda had eaten her bamboo
she was all tuckered out and went for a snooze too.
Unlike the Pandas most of the animals where active. We enjoyed going into the bird aviaries as we
were leaving one there sitting on a post next to the gate was a little owl fast
asleep. He woke up briefly to give
Soccer Elephant a look that said, “How dare you wake me up.” The
monkeys put on a show for us with all their funny antics. We watched the lions being feed who
beforehand where most agitated, pacing up and down their enclosures.
The zoo is next to the botanic gardens are next to each
other and over the Torrens River. They
are both very leafy and green
Having finished at the zoo we visited Glenelg. Walking down Jetty Road to the Jetty. Much to our disappointment the jetty was
closed to the public. Apparently it was
damaged with the recent storms. Probably
just as well, I seem to have a habit of falling of jetties. Instead we found a playground and had a good
time there.
