Australians have always passionately loved wildlife, whether native or imported.
Like feeding kangaroos in a park.
This lovely lass got a sweet ride on an elephant's trunk.
"G'day, young chaps. How may I entertain you on this splendid afternoon?"
"Why, thank you for the treats, kind lady."
Awaiting a seal show at Taronga Zoo.
"Look, little Billy, it's a bird!"
The most beautiful one of them all.
"Don't you worry, Roger, there's still a next year."
Off to the greyhound races, we go.
"On your mark... Get set..."
...who got away from the cattery.
"Maybe I'll stay home this year."
