Geocache Description:

We have always enjoyed finding rattll's pet rocks and had picked up quite a few.

On Christmas Day 2014, we finally visited the Rattlling Zoo in Wellington, GC43P2C. We dropped off our collection of over a dozen rattll rock creatures, keeping just a few. Task completed.


....except that on our trip home, we followed in rattl's footsteps, cache by cache, and found ourselves with another collection.
 
And so The idea for Rattlling Zoo Two was born, a Waikato branch of the original.

At placement time we also had a Travel Bug,Tonya the Elephant, which wanted to visit zoos around the world. Tonya visited Franklin Zoo, but it is permanently closed. He went past Hamilton Zoo, but couldn't find a place to stay, so what could be better than a zoo opened in his honour! 

Rattlling Zoo Two is a quiet spot within cooee of Hamilton Zoo and you will be able to hear the residents calling. 

So look out for rattll rocks and bring them along to the zoo, but also feel free to take one and move it on. There are also a few other swag animals here, maybe you could add to them.

When you come in search of the zoo, we think you will know when you have reached GZ. You'll be thankful we didn't place it in a flax bush or a carex.

 

Here are a few Rattll creatures, the photo is from the original Wellington Rattlling Zoo.

Extra special thanks to rattll for making all these lovely Pet Rocks.
They have made 53 different animals, how many have you found?
