While Chris and I have enjoyed the sights of the township, the main attraction seems to be the zoo. The zoo is owned by Taronga Zoo, which is located in the heart of Sydney. We did our early morning tour at 6:45am. It was the best time to go and after the storm last night, we had a beautiful day with clear skies. The zoo covers a lot of ground and you can get around by car, bikes, carts, or on foot. We had a tour guide with us this morning and we covered roughly a third of the place, which is about 2 klms. After that, we stopped for breakky and headed out by car for the rest of the place.
The Rhinos seemed to be the featured species today. These are white rhinos, who are noted for being the more "social" of the rhino group.
This is a gibbon, who's strength and agility astound me.
There were many animals that we enjoyed seeing, here at the zoo. And because both Chris and I were tired after our walk and drive around for 5 hours, we decided to opt out of the native Australian wildlife. It was a good journey this morning. Fresh air, sunshine, and wild animals, what more can one ask for the day?
And as we headed out of the park, we wondered what lays ahead of us on the next stage.
