Taronga Zoo

Taronga zoo locates on one island near by the city center (same as Helsinki zoo Korkeasaari). From Circular Quay it takes about 15 minute ferry journey to reach. The zoo is designed that visitors walk from top of the island while enjoying the well kept animals. It has wild Australia, Asia and Africa etc. different parts. It's so well designed and brings lots of convince for the visitors, especially families with children. Cable cars are the fastest way to reach the top of the hill.

Because of the famous Koalas, Kangaroos and wombats, the entrance tickets are quite expensive. Even for a daily pass including ferry and cable car costs AUD44 (Euro25, RMB250) one person. It is good idea to plan for the whole day there.

With lunch, snacks and resting stops, at the time the zoo is about to be closed we didn't even get chances to see newly comers - giant elephants. It is pity the zoo door closes too early at 6pm. Well, till next time...
