We are in a somewhat predicament once again, we had a visitor this morning from the council, and it looks like we may not be able to have our animals here.
And setting up a permanent Petting Zoo may not be possible as the permits require may not pass.
If by any chance they did we would not be able to have any piglets or roosters.

Just wondering if you could put a word out there if anyone had an area available to put our animals until we find something more permanent. We have access to plenty of grain, and happy to share.

We are not giving up easily, l am not wanting to stop what we are doing.

I started my Petting Zoo in Sempter 2017. This story was in 2020. l ran into someone traveling, who told me his wife had a migraine. At that time l thought he had dropped her of to rest, and decided to find something to do not to disturb her. Anyway l had some baby goats not long been born and asked if he would like to see them, he was so excited, l told him to drive to a gate so l could let him in. When l met him at the gate his wife got out of the car, we went to my new borns, once she held them she felt so much better. When l walked them back to the gate, even though was full on Covid she gave me the biggest hug and said she felt so much better. That made my day.

We at Trulander Petting Zoo after a lot of concern for our animals have decided not to open Australia Day through to Sunday. Over the next few days we are making everyone and thing safe and from what ever the cyclone may bring. Once the threat of bad weather has passed we can reopen temporally as we set up permanently.

22/01/2024

Yes the school holidays are over, many mums are so glad, me too.
I spent 21 1/2 days with the animals ready for any one wanting to visit, it was very exhausting for me but l do luv showing of my animal family.
I was so looking to unwinding today.

We will be open Australia Day through to Sunday from 10am to 4pm.

On weekdays between 10am to 3.30 if no-one is at the gate, even if the gate isn't open all you need to do is call me 0407 460 703 and l will be there to let you in within minutes.

Seven years ago while living in Capella, l told people l was going to set-up a Petting Zoo, many said it wouldn't take of. Then later l was told no point opening between September and April because it will be to hot and no one will visit.
I am so surprised and very happy to say that in the 21 days we were open we had over 600 visitors.
We thank everyone of you for visiting us, also we are so grateful for all the donations we received.
We would like to thank all our volunteers - Conner, Lily, Levi, Memphis, Connor, Danielle, Paige and Hagar.
Also everyone wanting to help in the future.

When having no electricity, l love eating Jaffles made with the Cast Iron Jaffle maker. As a kid I called them Flying Saucers as they were round. Anyway with no electricity, l bought a Cast Iron Jaffle maker, what a waste of money, l can not find any bread large enough to use it.
