Visit the Bird park...the bit without the birds!

Definitely NOT a bird, but spiders, lizards and snakes are available to buy at the pet shop. I love the spider ornament!

These little monkeys make popular pets, though I feel a little bit uncomfortable with that. They are cute as babies, but not so easy to live with when they get older. I try to stay quite far away from them in the cages, as I have seen them intentionally aiming their urine streams! One of my staff members had a friend who liked to own these kind on monkeys as pets, and I was horrified to hear that she killed not one, but TWO, by rolling over them in her sleep. (And not simultaneously either.) Also,they are really expensive, I think well over R1000 ($83).

Goats, rabbits and a pig, snoozing in the heat.

I loved the beautiful sculptures, in stone and metal.

You can see a lot of care has been taken with appearances, which is a good thing in our small town.

The view looking out from the park, is spectacular, and adds to the peaceful atmosphere.

The signage demonstrates someone has a sense of humour. Maybe not everybody gets it. While I was there, there was another family with young children, and I saw the mother frantically warning everyone about sharp edges!
