This is the true story of Jessie the elephant's remarkable journey at the start of the 20th century, when she walked from Moore Park Zoo to her new home at Taronga Zoological Park.
Before dawn, Mr. Miller unlocked the gates of the old zoo. He wasn't afraid, though—Jessie the elephant was by his side. Together, they began their walk through the city streets, heading for the ferry at Fort Macquarie. Jessie was on her way to her spacious new home at the soon-to-be-opened Taronga Zoo.
Jessie's incredible journey in September 1916 was unlike any other, bringing a bit of warmth and wonder to the chilly city that morning.
