The Tarongua Zoo is located in North Sydney, just across the harbour from Circular Quay, where the Opera House is located. To get to the zoo, you must take a ferry across the harbour, with spectacular views of the Sydney skyline, Opera House and bridge.
The zoo is built into the side of a hill and you begin with a cable car ride to the top and work your way down through the exhibits to see all of the animals. There are animals from all over the world, obviously with a focus on Australian wildlife and general conservation of endangered species. One of my favorite parts were the giraffes! Their enclosure is situated in such a way so that you can see the animals with the Sydney skyline as the background. I took a lot of pictures, it was pretty cool. Click here to see them!
If you're ever in Sydney, I highly recommend the zoo, its a perfect mix of nature and city - I loved it!
