This curious little menagerie is one of Queensland’s oldest zoos, and has been around since 1911. It’s not huge, on the scale of the likes Taronga Park Zoo or Australia Zoo, and you’ll probably only need 30 to 40 minutes to see it in its entirety, but it’s perfectly formed and a good level of care seems to be provided to its ever-changing but small collection of inhabitants.
