Being part of the feeding program at Orana Wildlife Park puts visitors in the lions territory. You are in the cage.

The lions look at you as they feed. It's Roman really with the comforting add-on that the cage (with the people in it) prevents a Christians v Lions Colosseum outcome.

Sixteen scheduled animal feeds occur daily and are accompanied by a presentation from a wildlife guide. This means Orana Wildlife Park has something to keep visitors of all ages entertained for the entire day.

Free camping is not free. One way or the other there is a dollar or an environmental cost. Or both. Often both hip pocket and the environment get hit. Unfortunately there are gaps in any user pays proposition.

'What is illegal camping?' Driven by growing road touring demand right now the answer continues to be the subject of debate at National, State and Local Government levels in Australia and New Zealand.

Talking technically Bainbridge has a Dynamic Duo like Batman and Robin. The CTEK D250S and the CTEK Smartpass.

But the CTEK pair charge faster and more efficiently to provide maximum power. Result - freedom from dependency on AC power with option for solar power.
