Taronga Zoo and Watsons Bay

Thursday morning we headed off on Bus 333 to the Circular Quay and our destination for the day which is the Taronga Zoo. We saw Koala’s, Giraffes, Red Panda’s, Gorilla’s, Elephants, Kangaroos, Lions, and a Duck Billed Platypus, etc. etc.
We spent about 3 hrs there, it’s a great zoo, lots to see and lots of interactive displays.
Here’s a few pictures

After the Zoo we caught the ferry back to Circular Quay and went for a stroll through shops and stores in the Sydney Harbour and historic Rocks Area. Then it was back on Bus #333 to Bondi and a great afternoon walk along the beach.

Friday we did the whole bus transfer thing to Circular Quay and caught a ferry to Watson’s Bay, which is a small suburb of the City of Sydney. Once there we did a walk around the waterfront and explored some other local areas. It’s a very small and quiet place until the harbour ferry’s bring boatloads of people over.

Lunch today was at a famed restaurant called Doyle’s on the Beach, it’s been there for 149 years.

Riding the ferries to all the different sites has been a great way to explore Sydney Harbour in such a relaxed and enjoyable way. You merely tap your credit card when you get on and off the ferry or bus. They have made it very easy to navigate a complex transit system at a very reasonable cost.
