The recent Twins Plus Festival held at the scenic Tooronga zoo in Sydney was a wonderful celebration of 'multiplicity'. With well over 1400 people attending, there were plenty of festivities to keep everyone amused; from face painting to animal exhibits and competitions, twins, triplets and quadruplets had the unique opportunity to mingle with other multiples and their familes. The Australian Twin Registry had a team of staff attend including our Director Professor John Hopper, our Deputy Director Dr Debra Foley and the head of our advisory board Mr Vincent Pollaers (who is a twin himself).

 Here are some of our photos of the day; as you can see, we had many different ages and types of twins attend.
