Wade,
Absolutely beautiful. By chance do you know what they are using the property for now?

G'day Wade,
Actually the zoo in Cape Town was still open in July of '77. I was on a ship heading to Australia to work for a year and we stoppeed in Cape Town and I headed to the zoo for a visit and took several photos.

Happy Days

Wayne,
Was the whole zoo open or just the lion den? The small bird section was supposedly quite spartan. Do you recall what they had for birds on exhibit?
