Today we spent at Sydney’s Taronga
Zoo which is a 12 minute ferry ride from Circular Quay. So we walked to the
Quay and hopped on board a ferry and were at the zoo around opening time. Our
Melbourne Zoo memberships gave us reciprocal rights so it did not cost us
anything. There is a gondola ride that takes visitors from the ferry dock up to
the top entrance of the zoo. This was a nice little ride that also took us over
some of the animal enclosures. They call it the Sky Safari!
A highlight was the baby elephant
and watching the elephants get a ‘bath’. We were so close we nearly got wet
ourselves!
Once we'd seen all we wanted to, we caught the Sky Safari back down to the ferry, rode the ferry back to Circular Quay, then caught the train two stops which deposited us just a couple of hundred metres from the apartment! The kids enjoyed a swim in the rooftop pool.
After dinner, as if a day at the
zoo was not enough, we ventured out again. We walked to the Art Gallery of NSW.
On Wednesday evenings they have ‘Art
After Hours’. We wandered around admiring old and new art. We sat and enjoyed
bluegrass band ‘The Morrisons’ as they played in the main atrium area. It was a
great evening, one of culture and art!
The walk home was pleasant, with
the city lights coming to life.
