Unfortunately, many were being poached for their tusks or chained up to perform in circuses under deplorable living conditions.
The Elephant Parade is the world’s largest open air art exhibition of decorated elephant statues that seeks to attract public awareness and support for the Asian elephants conservation.

Exercise Wallaby - The First Week
posted on
Pardon me for the delay of this post.
There were tonnes of pictures to edit and I spent quite a bit of time organizing them (from both mobile phone and Camera) and putting them in the correct order.
Then, I had to filter out the "classified" pictures that could not be posted on any social platforms.
I was confused by what I was doing at one point (twice, in fact) and I had to redo everything from scratch all over again which is why it took me so long to dish out this post.
Without much further ado, I will now let the pictures do the talking...

Arvo!
(that's Australian slang for "Afternoon!")
Two exhilarating weeks have passed us by and I have returned safe and sound from Down Under!
The weather has been as unforgiving as it has been eleven years ago; scorching hot during the day and freezing cold at night!
I'm at least four shades darker now!
Due to classified and security issues, I will not be able to post much information and photos on this blog.
All I can say is, it was definitely a tiring, siong yet memorable trip with my new comrades.
Outfield is no fun at all but sleeping on the three-tonner (with whatever space there is left of) and going to pee together at night in the wilderness without knowing what is in front of you is quite an experience to go through with your friends.
Of course, there are more pleasant activities like watching the Kangaroos from afar and waking up to the calls of the Kookaburras.
It was pleasurable for me to say the least as these sights and sounds are indigenous to the Australia outback and not anywhere else.

I ONLY WANTED YOU
They say memories are golden
well maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.
A million times I needed you,
a million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you
you never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place
no one could ever fill.
If tears could build a stairway
and heartache make a lane,
I'd walk the path to heaven
and bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.
