Taronga Zoo

We spent a half-day at the Taronga Zoo. It had an open plan, so some animals were walking around with the visitors. Visitors were advised to stay on the paths, I guess the animals were trained that you were fair game if you strayed. Hehe.

We took the ferry to Taronga and rode on the zoo's sky tram or something. And these were the views:

We saw the elephant pens, but no clear picture because the floor of the tram wasn't as clear.


Here are some pictures of the animals in the zoo!

A kangaroo, at least I think it's a kangaroo (it could be a wallaby?), in one of those open areas
