Sydney Ferry and Taronga Zoo

I'm thinking of starting a new travel guide:  "Sydney on only $500 a day".  Holy crap, we need the kids in school, and me at work, or we are going to go bankrupt!

We had a great day, however, and took the harbour ferry out to the Taronga Zoo.  The ferry was a beautiful way to experience the harbour, and the zoo was fun, despite my personal issue with zoos.  We managed to get out without any landfill gift shop toys, and made new friends on the ferry.

We are both hairy, smelly, vegetarian, and ridiculously cuddly

Stellar views...

 


 
A little lagoon on the harbour, right at the zoo.  The water is crystal clear here...

White Ibis.  The pidgeons of the zoo, pests trying to steel french fries ;)




At the end of a long day.  The orange goop is a sweet pumpkin spread that tasted like pumpkin pie...  awesome!  And a Fat Yak Ale to top the day....

  1. Do they still have the duck-billed platypuses there? They provide the whimsy in evolution....
