Duh!! It's a generation thing Patrick - don't you understand??? You can always copy the text, then visit the Babelfish site and select "Translate Bathurst into English".
ok i spose I supose i should give the talk of adelaide for you. At the moment we have 2 south east asias SEAR 1 is the older one that many of you have been to The main entrance in on the central lawn, where we used to do the Macaw Show (until gieselle got nippy). You walk in between to large sandstone pyramids with metal on the top carved and on one it says welcome the other Selemat Datang i think You first come to the SUn Bear lower viewing on the right its a glass window, as you continue along the path lined with tall bamboos to the left is a sunny exhbit that we call tiger 1. It will look better when the plants grow. You keep going and there is another right veiwing platform in which you look over the whole sun bear exhbit and moat. with no glass in between. THen you walk into the South East Asian Walk In Aviary, with green paefowl (dodgy ones) Coucals Ibis, Ducks and Egrets. in this aviary there is a veiwing window for the Tapir and Langur exhbit with its massive fig tree when you exit the aviary you are on teh boardwalk with also has the Siamang and Whitecheeked gibbon visible from it. SEAR 2 is weird, you exit 1 and head past the baboons and mandrills and end up under the Hut,there is underwater tiger veiwing there aswell at the Orang and Siamnag exhibit. i will take photoos next time i am there casually Sear three should be good as with the mandrills and Baboons moving SEAR will be all toghere, Any Questions?
skullduggery.... i get what you meant zooboy, its something like this - "when anyones goes to a victorian zoo with a skull or replica skull - you should stick your hand in its mouth!" i just thought it was a very bizzare and unusual request! i'm intrigued now - what on earth happens? i must know what it is that i'm missing out on!!!!
Patrick you'll just have to use it as an excuse for another visit to mel. Then tell us what happens!!
I can just see. Pat furtively sticking his hand in a skulls mouth, passers by looking at him oddly, mothers pulling small children away and a staff member approaches him and asks, in a tone of voice usually reserved for when you are wondering about a persons mental capacity, " Do you require any help sir?", whilst signalling to the security guard approaching Pat from behind.
ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!! (i'm actually laughing very hard!) thats hilarious! seriously what does that mean! why would i stick my hand in a skulls mouth?! do skulls even have mouths? why does it not matter if it is a real skull or a "replicate" skull? ahhh too weird! "hey man, go stick your hand in a skulls mouth" ah hah haha hahahah!!
I know this is off topic a little - the topic seems to be about sticking hands in skulls' mouths, but it is at a Victorian zoo - does that count? (Apologies to Jay for taking this thread further away from what started out as a very sensible discussion).
ok last post on bloody skulls, when you visit werribee, go inside the last hut, community hall, there is a life size hippo skull as interpretation, stick your hand inside, it's interpreatation, so it's gonna do something, when the Head of visitor experience told me to do it, i tell you i nearly shat myself, it is so funny, and very kool, great as an interp. measure. and if memory serves me right, there may be one in trail of the eles? and no zoopro stop being a smart arse.
I rarely consider myself a smart arse, zooboy, but this thread had become so off-track, I figured a momentary lapse into an attempt at humor might be appreciated by some. Clearly it was by a few , but not by all
omg (o my god) probably mark, you are a thinker, it's the tash tht does it. so what do you think of all the south asian exhibits, what was perths like when u visited?
I was there in 2000, most of the zoo was quite nice, i give it the thumbs up, you are right, its the tash. hehe
so can you give an analyisis of there asia for us, and if anyone has gone more recently add there analysis
