Intresting story about the first elephants in South Australia : http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/...a/news-story/b503a2e221676e8c9e7ab8f2c822778f
can you post the article? I only get a "subscribers only" message and one photo of an elephant pulling a cart....
Sorry Astrobird but now I have the same problem as you, first it was however open acces, now not anymore... . Maybe another Australian ZooChatter has acces to it and can post it again because there was some intresting information abot the first elephant at Adelaide Zoo.
if you put "adelaide now first elephants south australia" into Google you can get the article (titled "sad treatment of elephants in South Australia"). Lots of old photos on the article too.
the book from which the information was obtained (referenced at the end of that article) has its own thread also: http://www.zoochat.com/183/new-book-about-adelaide-zoos-elephant-450753/
