For Keeps takes us into the world of Melbourne zookeeper Noel Harcourt and all the unique and often unpredictable personalities - both human and non-human - he encountered over the decades of his career. 

Noel gives us privileged access to behind-the- scenes glimpses into the fascinating world of zookeeping and the bonds he and his fellow zookeepers formed with all his cherished animals - often challenging, frequently funny, always engaging. 

This heartfelt and beautiful story takes us on Noel's journey filled with a love for the people and animals that make modern zoos such special places.
