Saturday turned out to be a stunning day for the Gig Buddies visit to Taronga Zoo.
We were incredibly fortunate to have Gig Buddies volunteer Lauren (Taronga researcher/teacher/guide) and her gig buddy Brianna (budding zoo guide and tiger expert) guide the Gig Buddies gang through the zoo.
Lauren was able to pull some strings and get us front row seats for the Free Flights Bird show and the Seals for the Wild presentation.
Wow, the Taronga team really know how to put on an entertaining and educational show!
Thanks for a fantastic day to everyone who joined us, and a special thanks to Lauren and Bri for being such awesome hosts.
