Bloody Hell !‪!‬

Alan's book started life as a collection of true stories of his days working at Sydney's Taronga Park Zoo as a 15-year-old. At this time, relatively innocent in the ways of the world, he had moved from Launceston, Tasmania to the "Big Smoke" (Sydney) by himself. He was ripe for absorbing experiences, a bit like a blank canvas. So without realizing it, he began living life determined to experience as much as possible.
Writing down his 'L'\.t the Zoo time" included allowing 30 monkeys to escape into the Sydney suburbs, chasing Fairy Penguins down to the harbor, remembering some dangerous times with the elephants, being responsible for the death of two of Sir Edward Halstrom's favorite albino Kangaroos. (for which he was sacked from his position, quite unfairly he might add). It was only when he began to write down his life's journey, he realized he had lived an extraordinary life, full of humor and worthy of sharing.
Two of the stories have been played on Macca's morning show and Elizabeth Kulas' ABC podcast "DAYS LIKE THESE". Each receiving positive feedback! There are 126 different, mostly funny stories. All of them are true and good Aussie humor
