There aren't many times times when I wish I was a kid again, this may be one of them! I love real horses but they scare me with their big 'gnashy' teeth, riding on a carousel horse is a whole different love story, unrequited in this case as the carousel at
Perth Zoo (excellent little tour of the zoo) is for children only..ah well! it's possible.. maybe, that I might look a wee bit silly sitting atop one of the 'heritage horses' of this 65 year old carousel! When it went up in 1947 there were 20 horses and two boats, in 1968 the boats were removed and four more horses added making it a 'true' carousel, it seems if there is a variety of rides it is no longer a carousel but instead a merry-go-round, you really do discover the most interesting things when you write a blog, did you know that there are fewer than 200 true carousels surviving worldwide, most of them in the USA, fascinating oui! I hope your week has started well, thoughts go out to anyone feeling the consequences of Hurricane Sandy, take care and stay safe....
