Taronga Zoo Questions

[boof]

the platform is used for private functions mainly. sometimes in school holidays you are allowed up there at certain times, but the zoo cannot afford to risk unsupervised visitors dropping objects into the enclosure.

pretty stupid reason for not having it open. It would be just as likely for someone to drop an item into the moat.

we go the wall gardens infront of the water, which stops most, if not due to the current pulling straight to filter through the shallow front section just gets pulled straight out

I have a question: what is the platform used for that goes inside into the elephant exhibit? I've never seen pics of it being used.

and also, what is the size of the elephant exhibit?

I believe its open at everyday between a certain time. I have been up there myself, it was being supervised by vollies.
Heres a photo that I took from up there.
