Taronga






Now I've said before that I'm not a huge fan of zoos but I was looking forward to going to Sydney's famous Taronga zoo. Some of the animals there have multi-million dollar views of the bay, bridge and opera house.
We caught a ferry from the city across the bay, then took a cable car up to the zoo entrance. This confused Olivia since I called it a 'bubble car' and she wanted to know where all the bubbles were!
There was an baby elephant born there last July and we saw him in full cuteness playing in the water with his mummy. Particularly impressive were the big cats and the water enclosure with penguins, seals and yet more sharks. It's a fabulous zoo and Olivia and I may have to pay another visit before we leave.
