    I was looking through a few old train photos from a deceased SA photographer and stumbled across something very interesting.

    Amongst these photos was about a dozen or so photos from Bullens Lion Park. I assume it was Two Wells in SA, since the photographer was from SA and the photo content was of SA trains.

    I particularly like the photo of the lion hanging from the side of the trailer (look carefully in second to last photo) and the lion in the back of the ute looking over the cab (last photo).

    Enjoy the link!

    Yeah, it looks like I was born too late to experience this kind of animal encounters. :p

    About when were these photos taken, by the way?

    I would assume late 70's by the cars in the photos.
    Someone mat be able to be more accurate though!
