I couldn't let this
auspicious day go by without talking about our family's connections with pachyderms.
As we have no elephant tamers in our family line I took a look in our family album to see if I had any photos of our elephant encounters. As a young shild I visited
Taronga Zoo on many occasions and always enjoyed an elephant ride, I couldn't find any photos of myself atop an elephant but thankfully
Trove came up trumps with a photo of a bunch of children on an elephant named Jill - I wonder if I ever rode on Jill!!

The next tiime I had an opportunity to ride on an elephant was at an elephant refuge in Thailand in 2004.
