Taronga Zoo 2007 - In memory of the Elephant rides of the past

September 2007

In memory of the Elephant rides of the past. You can see an old saddle and a large photo from the time when Taronga Zoo did have elephant rides.

Are there any books on the history of Taronga zoo? I am always facinated by zoo history such as what is displayed in this photo. My Auckland zoo history book is getting worn out by me constantly looking at it.

I’d recommend ‘Postcards from the Zoo’: Postcards from the Zoo

And ‘The Keepers and the Kept’: https://www.amazon.com/Keepers-Kept-Terry-Boylan-ebook/dp/B005PSUO9E

@Zoofan15 - you know that question was asked over seven years ago, and the member hasn't been on the forum in five years?

@Chlidonias

Sure did, but thought the reply would be helpful to anyone else who stumbles upon the question in years to come; if not the person who asked it. They’re both great books!
