Passengers disembarking at Taronga Park Wharf

  I suspect this pic was taken on 7th October, 1916, at the official opening of Taronga Park Zoo. The chap carrying the cane might be NSW Premier Bill Holman, who performed the official opening...but it's difficult to be certain at this resolution. The chap wearing the bowler hat might be Fred Flowers, President of the Legislative Council and Chairman of the Taronga Park Trust...or maybe Sydney Lord Mayor Dick Meagher, who was also at the official opening. I gather the official opening was a fairly low key affair due to the war. trove.nla.gov.au/work/235737724 - SLNSW pic of Bill Holman... trove.nla.gov.au/work/183008887 - NLA Fairfax pic of Fred Flowers... trove.nla.gov.au/work/185013418 - Dick Meagher appears in this NLA Fairfax pic...he's wearing a bowler hat...

The elephant, Taronga Zoological Park

  A truly historical image, even though as a child (1950s) I can recall visiting Taronga Zoo, and doing just that. Riding the elephant, seems so barbaric to consider such a ride now.

  I did the same thing, but you're so right

  I'm not sure if I would look quite as comfortable sitting amongst two Lion Cubs???
