Remnants of the once popular Go-kart track which was built in 1981. In the background is the Managers house which was occupied by John Schmidt, Mavis Vance and son Jimi Vance who was a Park Ranger/Game Warden. There is also a comparison photo from 1984 from the same spot with the house still standing. The Luge ride started at the top of the hill to the right of the house. The finish point was near the Go-kart track.

Here's a Postcard (circa 1981-1983) from the Auckland Lion Safari.
LEFT HAND PICTURE.. Park Manager John Schmidt feeds one of the prides during a 11am, 2pm or 5pm public feeding session. Yes, you drove your car WITH your family into the compound to get close and personal with these magnificent beasts.
TOP RIGHT PICTURE.. Clyde the camel and his flock receiving treats from customers. The public were asked not to feed them anything except fruit and the packets of treats sold at our Cafeteria and Ticket office. Pictured is also a relatively new MK4 Ford Cortina.
BOTTOM LEFT PICTURE.. Two children enjoying one of the many Bumper Boats we had down our lake area. There were also paddle boats, a long Water Slide, A fortress and radio controlled boats (Which were also outside the cafeteria).
