The city is a jungle

One of the things I like about living close to the city is that there’s always something on to amuse the kids, and often within walking distance, or at worst, within reach by public transport.

Last weekend North Sydney Council held a Children’s Festival at Civic Park. This involved bands, performances by local groups, arts and crafts, baby farm animals, and snakes!

My oldest daughter Grace, who’s three, doesn’t usually like animals, but she was more curious than concerned by this encounter with a snake, as you can see in the picture above.
