We all got up very early yesterday (left the house at about 6.45am) and drove down to Sydney (we’re about 120 miles north of Sydney) so we could go to Taronga Zoo - this trip was Isabelle’s main Christmas present so we wanted to make a full day of it. We got there about 9.30 and it was just before 5pm that we left so it really was a full day - if you ever go to Taronga Zoo you have to be there for 9am when it opens or you’ll be pushed for time to see it all, especially if you want to do any of the animal encounters or listen to any of the talks about the different animals.
We started off in ‘Wild Australia’ and ended up in ‘Africa’ having spent a couple of hours in ‘Wild Asia’. We saw eveything from Kangaroos (oddly enough) to Elephants and even saw a Northern Quoll (which is a very rare Australia animal). The kids all had a fantastic time, it was about 29C and we had a beautiful clear view across the harbour to the Opera House and the harbour bridge.
It was gone 9pm when we eventually got back as we hit traffic on the highway but we all had a fantastic time. Very tired today but it was all worth it.
I’ve attached some photos (I hope) and will post some of the local area once I take them!
Hehee - kangaroos look funny when they sit down like that. Like a dog with worms.
