Hi all,
I was a zookeeper in Sydney in the 1980s/early 1990s. I have in my possession a book (it's quite thick) entitled: "Australian Society of Zoo Keepers Conference '87" and wondered if anyone would like to add it to their zoo history collection? The Conference was held on 24th-27th April 1987 at the Perth Zoological Gardens. Contents include:
Chris Banks, President ASZK - Opening Address
Phil Pain - Endangered species captive breeding & raptor rehabilitation
Michael Cermak - Reptile breeding
Mark True - Transfer of an Asian elephant to a new enclosure at Perth Zoo
Gary Slater - Healesville's Nocturnal House
Dean Burford - Red Eared Firetail Finch in captivity
Carolyn Mehrfert - Role of Docents
Rosemary Markham - Orang-Utan husbandry at Perth Zoo
Susan Smith - Fauna rehabilitation
Kerrie Haynes-Lovell - New species for Marine Mammal Department at Taronga
D L Pepper-Edwards - Longevity of Captive Platypus at Taronga 1934-1987
Brian Clarke - Disinfectant Chemicals
Daniela Olbrich - Observations on Aviary Birds to determine Sex and Age
Jillian S Grade - American Assoc Zookeepers
Rosemary Markham - Orang-utan breeding at Perth Zoo
P J Whalen - Abduction of young by equids
Joan Pecar - Growth Rate of Emu Chicks in captivity
Chris Banks - a Review of the Western Massasauga at Melbourne Zoo
Bill Gaynor - Avermectin
J A Friend - Numbat Conservation
Elizabeth Notley - Taronga Zoo's Bird Department - a New Structure and Philosophy
Bev Drake - Platypus Facilities at the Royal Melbourne Zoo
Gert Skipper - Management of the Slender Loris at Adelaide Zoo
Kevin Mason - a Transition in Zoos
Erna Walraven - Development of a Rehabilitation Program for Native Wildlife at Taronga Zoo
E M Lonnon - Design of the Macquarie Island Exhibit at Taronga Zoo
Janice Richards - Jersey Wildlife Trust
I'd be happy to post this (from NSW, Australia) to someone who might find it of interest. Please respond if you are interested and let me know which institution you're associated with and why you would like it. : ))
