I watched this Ma and her young charge, as they trundled along the walking path through Prince Alfred Park, from the Greek church up on Cleveland Street, nearly to the exit from the park in Chalmers Street just up from the Devonshire entrance into Central Station.

When I was a kid we had a ride on the back of the Elephant at Melbourne Zoo. Did they do that at Taronga?

Not the done thing these days of course.

They used to do that at Taronga. They still have the old elephant house; it's a heritage building, IIRC.

The old elephant house is no longer as impressive as it was to this child's mind ...

I'll bet that little fellow had a great time too.

Glad to see they've finally finished all the work in the park. It took years.
