Perth zoo, as it was. Not the modern zoo you see today. It was quite Victorian for some time, I even remember some of these cages and enclosures from when I was a kid in the late 70's. Glad it's changed, although I think they've kept a few of the old bits as old school examples and reused others in more suitable ways...
Let's start with the oldest
 |
| Original zoo entrance, 1898 |
 |
| Semi-trailer bus outside Perth Zoo, 1949 |
 |
| The old monkey cage, which I believe is still there, no monkeys though |
 |
| I can't remember if this castle held penguins or guinea pigs |
 |
| Sadly, this is how Tricia the elephant was held for quite a number of decades, no longer thankfully |
 |
| The final two photos were taken by me, the old Bear and I think (at one time) Wolf dens |
Unfortunately I don't have credits for the rest of the photos, I collected most from the web a while ago and even then they weren't from original sources. So please just consider credit where credit is due.
