Pathways make a big
step forwards.
The begining of March marked the, long awaited,
commencement of the construction of a 700m, 2m wide pathway
throughout Big Swamp Wildlife Park.
Completion of the path will allow for better access
throughout the park for people with disabilities, the aged and
families with children in prams. Not only will the path provide
better access for all pedestrian traffic but will also produce a
continuity throughout the park.
The project is being funded by a $100,000 State
Government grant which was alocated for improvements to the park.
Hopefully this will be the first of many proposed improvements to
take place within the Park.

Friends despite the
odds
John and Marie Kemp adopted Jack a couple of
years ago, they donated new housing for him and take an
active interest in his care. They visit him
regularly and ensure he gets plenty of exercise and attention.
Jack isn't the friendliest of birds, although he
sounds friendly enough when he talks to you. He has a
reputation among the animal carers as a bird that will bite the
hand that feeds him. But with John he generally behaves himself and
they can often be seen going for a walk or performing tricks.
John is also a regular visitor at childrens
birthday parties and other functions held at the park.
He attends with his own birds Teddy, a Red-Tail Black
Cockatoo, and Polly, a Sunconjure, and is a big hit with adults and
children alike.
