" I am just writing to say thank you to your staff for the members’ sleepover that my daughter and I attended on Saturday evening. The Ranger, Jacques, was a credit to your organisation. He entertained the children, providing lots of educational tidbits, without boring them senseless. His professionalism and knowledge of the animals throughout the park was excellent and I will certainly request him again when we attend a night time activity at Billabong Sanctuary.
 
Once again, thank you for conducting such a worthwhile and entertaining  activity for both the children and the adults present. I will be recommending it to all our friends.
 
Kind regards - Glenn Jackson"
