The Adelaide area is teeming with animal collections! I visited Adelaide Zoo, Monarto Zoo, Warrawong Sanctuary and Cleland Wildlife Park when I was there last year. I've said it time and time again, but with the upcoming chimpanzee exhibit at Monarto and the pair of giant pandas arriving soon at the zoo...South Australia will be a happening place for zoo fans.

Ben is doing a fantastic job there, I am always impressed at his maturity and the way he conducts himself. No exotics, other than one lone (cranky) deer.
