Wont be able to join the group as we have our annual father-son weekend on the River just up the road at Murray Bridge..I'm in charge of taking pics so that at leas the dads have some sort of memories of the w/e events!

Still I am very keen to get back to Monarto soon and make use of my newly acquired membership.

I'm sure you'll have a great day.

cheers

[RDW]

Will definitely try to be there, but not promising.

[RDW]

Dropped in Saturday for Lunch while out that way flying at Pallamana Airfield, Murray Bridge. The Bus Tours into the Lions enclosure not ceasing, just pre-booking requirement. Zoo Loop tours will continue on a first in first served basis and some may miss out if not eneogh volunteers are rostered for enough bus & Tour duties. Sorry couldn't make it back out there again today to be with you all.
Regards,
Rob W

How did it go guys? There'd better be some brilliant pics with that group of people!

It was a good day. African Wild Dogs are cool. Had a good view of the giraffes as well.

Thanks for organising the day Fozzie.

[willer]

Thanks for the day guys - I agree, the dogs are unreal. Not your Jennifer Hawkins look , but quite fascinating to watch. Some ok photos, still need to get in a bit more practice.

I really did not take a lot of shots yesterday:








Where is my evening meal?

[DanielA]

It was a good day. Looks like everyone got the same shots as me.
Here's a few of mine:







The dogs appear to spend lots of time in the air. I've got lots of shots where they appear to be defying gravity.
