Took my youngest the the Werribee Open range zoo yesterday. We had a close encounter pass to the Servals, which was for her birthday. Pretty amazing animals. We stayed and watched the four new lion cubs for ages too. The entire pride was right in front of us.
You gotta get down there and see these cubs at play. Really awesome The weather wasn't the best for us unfortunately but we still had a great day.

Thats brilliant mark. Wife and I went on a road trip 2 yrs ago and visited Dubbo and Canberra Zoo, stayed overnight in a room that is part of the cheetah enclosure, obviously separated by a heavy glass window, but the cheetah basically sleep right next to you. They did have another option, which was not avail to us, but they do a leash led meet and greet with a cheetah also. Also had dinner with a pride of lions that sauntered in and out past us - again separated by glass but they were free to come and go - great experience. I think this experience lifts it to a whole new level - how did you organise it?

We did White Hills to Preston Beach - on the sand!

It's the longest actual beach drive DX grunt has ever been on!

Thanks Phil. Its organised through the zoo. They have a number of encounters you can do. If we could have touched and handled the lion cubs I would have been all over this. They are my favorite animals by far. Well them and Tigers. I could have just sat there and the lion enclosure all day if I could. I have video footage of the Lions and cubs at play but the interwebs here is so bad I cannot upload a thing.
The serval was great too. The handler put a piece of meat on a stick about 3 metres above him and the serval just jumped straight up and grabbed it. My daughter was in awe with this animal. It was just me and her for the day, no big sis to annoy her. Was a really good day.

My gauge is cactus I go by the warning light what could possibly go wrong !

I'm happy !! On Friday, i was meant to be grounded for a week after a dental procedure. Which got cancelled early Friday morning due to infection...
SO i went Jamieson instead with some mates. Magnificent Jamieson River about 10 k's north of Grannys flat. One of the best swimming holes, I've seen in the high country thus far.
I also found a new mate "Brownie" which chilled out with me for a bit, while trying to catch some Trout (didnt get any).

Weather was ferocious at times, thunder and absolute deluge, but the sleep during the night listening to the storm and the river was priceless !

Left camp at 7am today, but Couldn't get out of jamieson until around 11am, due to the sad hit and run that happened last night.
I drove around and looked at some alternative off road ways back to Mansfield from that area and after the deluge last night, some of those tracks were "interesting", since being by my self, I opted to just wait it out by the river.

Did ol Joe Blake roll down for a drink while you were sitting there or did you run up on him?

Helped buy my daughter a car on the weekend, everyone happy.

Poor kid moved to Melbourne in 2011 for Uni. We gave her & her brother our old Falcon in 2012 which she dinged and she hasn't driven since, too scared at first, country kid on her own in the city just too much stress. She'd walk to the supermarket to buy groceries & walk back each week, relied on public transport and friends with cars to get around. She's had her first real job for the past 6 months & saved everything.

Great to see her so happy with her own car and a much more confident driver as well.

The one in the photo, swam up out of the water right at my feet !! Where it is on the photo, is where my feet were dangling off the chair, next to the rod. It did not have a care in the world that I was there. It just sat there as it got some heat. Was slow moving as it just came out of cold water. Just gave it wide berth and eventually was on its way.
It was one of around 6 that we seen the whole weekend. 3 sightings was probably the same one...

Pretty wild storm you missed guys!
Spewing I have missed another trip. I got a heap of work done on the patrol though and it won't be long until I'm back out there.

Have you sorted out your vacuum issues? If yes, give @Rossco a call as i think he has an issue after this last weekend.
