Always a tourist: My tips for visiting Taronga Zoo
Always a tourist: My tips for visiting Taronga Zoo
T hings have settled down since I’ve moved to the city and I’m happy to say I’ve been able to do things that aren’t related to work, or moving, unpacking, or rearranging furniture. Last weekend, for instance, I decided to take the ferry across the harbour to visit Taronga Zoo.
Taronga Zoo is home not only to native Australian animals like kangaroos, wallabies, platypuses (er… platypi?) and Tasmanian devils, but many other exotic and endangered animals too. And seeing that it’s located opposite the Opera House on the shores of Sydney Harbour it has one of the best views of any zoo I’ve ever been to. Fun fact: Taronga is an Aboriginal word meaning “beautiful view”.
