Taronga Zoo

Sydney's zoo is a short (15 minute) ferry ride from Circular Quay. We spent about 4 hours at the zoo...and it was 4 hours well spent if I may say so myself! The first exhibit we saw was the Australian walkabout. There were kangaroos and wallabies lounging around as we walked very close to them. These logs were the only enclosure that "divided" us from WILD AUSTRALIA! (Oh, and that's Steve, the wild second mechanic!)
More from the walkabout:
