Think our Zoo is worth making a song and dance about? Then show us your rendition of Rockhampton Zoo’s ‘12 Days of Christmas’ before Tuesday 22 December for your chance to go behind the scenes and get up close and personal with some of our animals!

Parks Councillor Cherie Rutherford said this competition would be a great weekend activity to do with your family or friends.

“Our Zoo has prepared this lovely little version of a Christmas classic to celebrate the wonderful animals and great staff we’re lucky enough to have here,” said Cr Rutherford.

“They’ve been releasing their own version of the song line by line in short videos over the last 12 days on the Zoo Facebook page, and I think they had a lot of fun doing so.

“Now that the whole song has been released, it’s your turn to record an all-singing, all-dancing rendition and show us what you’ve got!”

Upload your version of the Rockhampton Zoo’s ‘12 Days of Christmas’ to the Zoo Facebook page before midday on Tuesday 22 December to enter the competition.
