Taking the tourist to the zoo ...

The best view of the city ... at the bird show

A trip to Sydney is not complete without a trip to the Taronga Zoo.  It was perfect timing for C. to be here, since I already had a zoo trip planned with six year old R. as part of school.  Taronga Zoo is her favourite place to visit and since it fitted in well with her studies in animal adaptations, we headed there on Thursday.  Taronga Zoo is in such a spectacular location, it's hard not to have a good time admiring both the animals and the view.  As was to be expected, C. was suitably impressed with our trip to the zoo, which concluded with another iconic Sydney experience ... a trip on the ferry.

The giraffes also have a pretty amazing view
