We chose to take the funicular to the top.

Thoroughly entertained with these two delightful girls on the way up.

Ticket area and the zoo shop.

From the top every exhibit is on the way down the hill to the ferry dock.

Lizards were everywhere.

For the young or the young at heart.  This runs all over the grounds.

Red Kangaroo-the largest of the varieties.

Rainbow Lorikeets.

Emu

Budgerigar.  What? Called “budgy” by the locals.

Tasmanian Devil starting to consume a dead animal. their value to the environment is that like seagulls, They clear away dead stuff.

Young kangaroo that people were petting.

Australian Ibis waiting for me to not pay attention to my lunch.

Young gorilla.

These are the real deal.  Teams practicing for the Sail GP Race.

Ladies were not permitted to disembark at this landing—LOL, just kidding.  I loved the name for this pier.

Australia’s entry.

On the return run to Circular Quay  in downtown Sydney at the end of our day.

Inter-island ferry.

Marilynn and I went on the Opera House Tour. I love this view of the entrance.
