How to Move a Zoo

The Incredible True Story

Kate Simpson & Owen Swan

Description

The true story of how at the beginning of the 20th century Jessie, the elephant, walked from Sydney's Moore Park Zoo to her spacious new home in the Taronga Zoological Park.

It was still dark when Mr Miller opened the gates of the old zoo, but he wasn't scared because he wasn't alone. He was with Jessie the elephant and together they were going to walk from Moore Park, through the city streets, to the ferry at Fort Macquarie. Jessie was moving to her spacious new home in the soon-to-be-opened Taronga Zoological Park.

Jessie's surprising journey was unlike any other and it brought a little warmth to the city on that brisk September morning in 1916. Recommended for ages 4+.
