After a few aborted attempts to visit the zoo due to cancellations of the sea-lion show (unmissable), we finally made it. Taronga is not only full of amazing animals, it is also one of the most beautiful zoos I have ever visited, with a cable car giving a birds eye view of the exhibits, and the stunning city skyline in the background. The giraffes especially luck out here, although the birds dont have too bad a backdrop either.
We ended up spending 6 and a half hours there, so naturally got a little bit tired. Luckily there were places to nap.
Lunch was eventful, in that a seagull actually landed ON my head. Very strange feeling which I hope will not be repeated. There was also the added hilarity of a dead pigeon right in the middle of one of the main paths. The school children were especially fascinated by this. Rather more so than the elephants next to it.
Got a bit up close and personal with a peacock...
But my personal favourite was the echidna stuck in the pipe
And we werent the only ones looking a bit fatigued

The meerkats got a bit overexcited
Which the other animals werent too thrilled about
