Ellie Enchanted by Elephant

We just adore these amazing behind the scenes images of our September Glamour Gal Ellie Gonsalves at Australia Zoo. The 2 day photo shoot featured Ellie with 12 animals for her upcoming Wildlife Warriors 2012 Calendar.

As a Wildlife Warrior for Australia Zoo, Elle got the amazing opportunity yesterday to work alongside some of the most beautiful animals including a python, an alligator, a blue macaw, a tortoise and Aussie favourites a cute Koala and Kangaroos. However her favourite animal encounter was with Siam the Elephant.
"Being able to feed the elephant Siam and hang with the animals and do my thing while sending an awesome message. It was amazing... Siam was really playful. It was such a wonderful experience."

Ellie's up close and personal experience being photographed with Australia Zoo's animals is for her new role as a Wildlife Warrior, to raise funds for animal conservation. The calendar goes on sale this December.

Elle explains: "Australia Zoo is the ultimate wildlife adventure that also delivers a conservation message through exciting and fun education. This is why I felt compelled to become a Wildlife Warrior and Ambassador for Australia Zoo. It's a dream come true for me and I feel so proud and fortunate to be able to now be sharing this journey and making a positive change in this world."
