Advantages: easily accessible Disadvantages: on a hill but still great views
We just went to Taronga Zoo at Sydney on thursday,luckily not on wedsday with the red dust that covered all Sydney.We caught the train in from Blacktown changed train at Central for another to Circular Quay then a lovelly ferry ride accross the harbour to the Zoo.The ferry ride is great passing the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge.Once at the Zoo wharf you can either catch the cable car up to the top,catch a bus to the top or after a short walk ... ...view is remarkable.If there was not a zoo here it would be some pretty expensive real estate with views like that.The animals were amazing and we saw many of them being fed including the seals,lions and tigers which was amazing.I highly recommend a visit to Taronga Zoo,a brilliant day out. ...
