10 years of planning for a giraffe barn. Wish my classroom got this much attention.

River Cole2026-07-14T08:51:42.000Z

your classroom is a dump. Why don't you focus on teaching instead of griping?

River Cole2026-07-14T08:51:42.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed with the 'finally taking shape' crap. It's a barn for giraffes, not a bloody cathedral.

I reckon they'd just complain it's not good enough. Some people are never happy.

Honestly great to see. The giraffes deserve proper shelter. Hamilton Zoo has been needing this upgrade for ages.

As long as it doesn't blow over in the next storm like everything else we build these days.

Ruby Fraser2026-07-14T09:50:42.000Z

real, mate. A zoo upgrade doesn't take away from road funding. It's a drop in the ocean.

Omg I'm so excited! Can't wait to see them stretch their necks in there.

What a load of shit. They've been talking about this since I was a kid and I'm nearly 30.

Does anyone know if they'll do a behind-the-scenes tour? Would love to see the design.

Sky Murphy2026-07-14T10:15:42.000Z

same! I hope they have a viewing platform or something.

Typical council, years late and probably millions over budget. But at least the giraffes are stylish now.

Rowan Blake2026-07-14T10:01:42.000Z

think about the kids who can actually learn about giraffes now. That's worth something.

ffs can we just be happy something nice is happening? Not everything has to be a political take.

lol u first commented about being a teacher not getting attention, now u saying be happy? Make up ur mind.

Chloe Martin2026-07-14T10:29:42.000Z

lol cope. You clearly don't pay rates if you think this is a good use of money.
