Since young both my girls love animals very much. They would get very excited whenever the opportunity arises for them to visit the zoo. As both my husband and I are not animal fans, they rely on school trips, and visits from family and friends. As they grow older, they started to negotiate visits to wildlife parks and/or farmstays when we travel overseas, as their reward for doing well in their school exams or in exchange for a month of washing toilets at home. I still have not figured out where their love for animals came from, as I am someone who would scream my head off whenever I see a cat, dog, et cetera.

Before we got into Perth, my younger girl (the more crafty one) “sweet-talk” her dad for a day at Caversham Wildlife Park. As promised, we spent an entire day right from opening hours of the park right till the very last minute of their closing. If not because of my Nikon camera, I would fallen asleep standing.

I had a hard time getting them to stand still for a picture. They just cannot wait to get into the park to meet their “friends”.
