I arrived in Sydney from Perth sometime in February just shortly before St. Patricks day adn I tell you it was pretty cold, only about 15-18% Centigrade.... I did not expect that kind of weather and had no sweater in my bags..... so, what was I to do? I decided to spend the whole day at the Sydney Aquarium inside the building where it was comfortably warm...... on my way out though I bought a blue sweatshirt with an Aboriginal print of "Dolphin dreaming" and I still have this one as it is my favourite.

The visit to the Zoo was another experience I will never forget and I will forever be jealous of the giraffes as they have the perfect view over the harbour..... if you go there just picture yourself owning a house in that exact spot..... it will remain a dream and thats good for the giraffes!

From the outside, not much to look at. But we had a great time on the inside. My daughter and I were very much fascinated by the platypus -- platupuses -- platypi -- oh, whatever they are in multiple. They rock this world! Soon I will post some of the three billion pictures we took of the platy(pi?). But there was much more to see. One of the weirdest things was a huge ray. I can't even begin to describe the size of the thing and it was lying on the tube over our heads in the shark walk through. Very bizarre. Leave a Comment Address: Darling Harbor

 Give me your sandwich! by AnnikaW It is quite fun just to walk around and look at all the expnsive houses - and the beautiful small harbours and the nature of course. We had a picnic in Mosman and this black poodle wanted to eat my sandwich :) Leave a Comment

by keeweechic Taronga Zoo has come a long way over the years from when I first saw it as a little girl. It's a nice days outing with much to see. Highlights include the seals, snow leopards, primates and endangered western lowland gorillas. Native animals too, are represented. All the Olympic mascots are there in real life. It is a lovely ferry ride over and a great view of the city looking back. Catch the ferry if you're coming from the opposite side of the harbour. Open 9am-5pm daily.

Combined ferry and admission tickets available.

Catch the ferry from Circular Quay and visit one of the world's best located zoos. Harbour views and animals - what a combination - one of the best locations in Sydney. Leave a Comment Directions: Located at Mosman, the best way to get there is by special ferry from Circular Quay. Buses also run from the city.Other Contact: www.tarongazoo.com.au

by Ilena As far as animals go, Taronga doesn't have the widest variety I've seen, but the setting for the zoo is incredibly beautiful. You can take some beautiful photos of the bridge from here. Catch the ferry over and then take one of the buses up to the top. If you can afford it, take the chairlift. TIP: If you want to buy anything in the giftshop, make it first on your agenda otherwise you will have to trek back up the hill. Try to catch one of the seal shows because they are really cute. I saw Campbell, who was training and didn't want to jump off of the rock and into the water. Also, look out for the Fjordland penguins and the extra-long cow statue. Leave a Comment

by Geisha_Girl The Taronga Zoo in Sydney was an impressive experience......as far as zoos go! Besides the koalas and chimpanzees, the zoo also houses a gorilla forest, an Orang-utan Rainforest, and is home to Chester, the white tiger and rare Sumatran tigers. Ever see a 'fluffy dingo' up close and personal? How about a meerkat? Well, take a visit to the Taronga Zoo and you can check those off your list!
