Gomba 1975, Susie in background

This was taken with my Polaroid camera (a Christmas present in 1974). Gomba remains one of my all time favourite zoo animals.

Eek! Just viewed it - sorry about the quality.
 
Good photo.. how rocky is their 'paddock' ?! Looks part of a building site with all the mud and rocks. Of all the land the Zoo had, they stuck them on a tiny, muddy, moated enclosure.
 
As far as I remember the house was occupied before the paddock was added - do you remember this? The first Elephants I saw in that house were three African calves. There was a buzz around the park that day, visitors saying "there are three of them" etc, so we followed the crowds and hey presto the first Elephants for a while (for some time the cashiers at the gates had been apologising for the lack of Elephants).
 
well now you're testing my memory. lol I can't to be honest, but then I'd be quite young at the time.
