The Taronga Park Zoo






The Taronga Park Zoo is one of the best places to visit in Sydney, so we ventured forth yesterday to give it a whirl. It's an extraordinary spot; the zoo is built from the bottom to the top of a long hill overlooking Sydney Harbour. You can start at the top, wind your way down, and then return via cable car or chug over on the ferry from Circular Quay. The exhibits feel very animal-friendly and visitors can get up close and personal with the beasts. Yesterday we could have reached out and touched a Big Red kangaroo who ambled by us without a care. As you can see, the animals have superb views of the Harbour Bridge, the Opera House, and the many on-going sailing races.
