Taronga Zoo

Today, me, mum and Linda caught the ferry from Circlular Quay to Taronga. Then on the cable car which takes you over some of the animals to the zoo entrance. The zoo itself is set on a slope with great views across the water to the opera house and bridge. We stopped for the bird show, the sea lion show and koala and dingo talk. It's mating season at the moment so we saw the 5 legged elephant do his stuff and met Ken the mating koala, who was sleeping when he was introduced to keep up his energy for later. He was the star of the zoo for me with tales of his girlfriends and baby koala Lulu.

The dingo talk was interesting and I learned the only true wild dingos left in Oz reside on Fraser Island where they are unable to mate with domestic dogs (which is what's happened everywhere else). I'll be camping on Fraser Island in a few weeks so got some top tips on how to deter them...throw rocks near them and light a fire, technical stuff!
