Cape Town's Company Gardens

When I was a little girl in South Africa, I used to love watching and feeding  squirrels in the Company Gardens in the central city part of Cape Town. The gardens were planted to give food to the sailors who stopped there on the way to the East, in an attempt to prevent scurvy. It is a dream to be able to take my children there one day to see the squirrels. there are no squirrels in Brisbane.

    We wanted to immigrate but found out that it is not that easy at all!
