- **Event Description**: Get up close and personal with the creatures at Symbio Wildlife Park for the perfect opportunity to take a collection of some truly impressive photos.

Joined by wildlife photographer and Sony Digital Imaging Advocate Brett Lobwein, whose work has featured in many publications and TV Shows, including the popular BBC series Deadly 60, you will have exclusive access to the park before it opens to the public. Inside the enclosures, you will be warmly greeted by Kangaroos, Meerkats, and Quokkas (species subject to change on the day), all under the supervision of our very own Zookeeper.

There will be plenty of loan equipment on the day including the new Sony A7 Mark V and their state-of-the-art lenses, so both beginner and veteran photographers will have everything needed to capture the best photos possible.
