Zoo-perb

Okay readers, here is another post to do with our recent trip to Sydney, and it’s about a trip to the zoo. Taronga Zoo to be exact.
To get to this delightful attraction we had to catch a ferry from Darling Harbour to Circular Quay (which involved going under the Harbour Bridge and docking alongside the Opera House), and then catching another ferry across to the zoo. Once we had disembarked at our jetty we made our way to the zoo’s bottom entrance and caught the cable car to its top one. This way a great way to see the whole place and gave us an idea of what to expect.
The zoo itself is set out on a hill and featured quite a variety of pathways through it. There was the main route that took in a vast majority of the animal enclosures as well as lots of alternative pathways that took you past, through and into the B-List animal exhibits. Suffice to say we mixed it up and tried to see as much as we could.
One of the exhibits was about Australia and featured a great deal of its natural wildlife and was, oddly enough, of great interest to us (read that as me) because we wanted to count up how many of the animals we’d actually seen in the wild; which isn’t something you normally get to do in a zoo (unless you live in Africa or the arctic).
The weather stayed good for as long as it could but inevitably the spring rain paid us a visit and hung around for the rest of our time at the zoo. We marched about oblivious to the weather and, in between snacks, continued our journey past some amazing exhibits (the mountain goats enclosure was cool because it mainly comprised of a man-made mountain that gave the goats a splendid view of Sydney’s skyline). Eventually we found ourselves at the main entrance and grabbed a cable car down to the jetty, signalling an end to our trip to Taronga Zoo.
A few boat rides later we were back in our friends’ apartment at Darling Harbour chatting about our antics and all that we’d seen.
So now we have one less item on our Sydney bucket list but we’re sure it’ll be replaced by something else if we look hard enough. I suppose we’ll just have to go there again to find things to put on our list. Tsk, tsk. It’s a hard life.
Bye for now good readers.
