kiwi pieHey guys,

Quite often I remember bits and pieces of my childhood that have no frame of reference over here in Straya, so I was hoping I could call on you all for help in filling in some blanks. Hope you don't mind.

Does anyone else remember a Safari Park in the North Island somewhere where you could drive your car around and the lions would come up to your car? I have vivid memories of going to this place with my cousins, and even remember my uncle shoving me out of the way to take a photo of a lion who had half climbed up the back of the Commodore and was checking us out.
Or have I just seen that episode of The Simpsons too many times (as is the general reaction to my claim over here)?

Cheers.

When I was a kid I went to a place around Rotorua that had lions. I remember it vividly because we were allowed to pat some of the cubs and one of them bit me.
