Taronga Zoo

On Saturday, Jess and I went to the Taronga Zoo in Sydney. This isn't something we would normally set out to do, but we got free passes with the purchase of our TV, so we thought we would give it a shot. To get to the zoo from our place we had to take a train to circular quay and then take a ferry to the zoo. This was my first ferry ride here in Sydney but there are lots to choose from. The ride was only about 15min, but provided some spectacular views of the Opera House, Harbor Bridge, and Downtown.

The zoo is situated on the side of a large hill and and features a sky safari cable care which takes people from the bottom to the top of the zoo. In addition to the 'normal' zoo features, this zoo also features 'Wild Australia', which basically allows you to go on a 'walkabout' with Kangaroos, Wallabees, and Kola bears. I will let Jess talk about the chimp highlights....

Here are some pictures from the outing.
