Another wee 'to do list' interlude for the piccie day. Thought I'd share some of Taronga Zoo with you. Not a huge fan of zoos, but accept that we need research facilities and breeding programmes to for preservation. This Sydney city facility has the added benefit of prime views....

I remember the Taronga Zoo from my visit to Oz in '82. A wonderful place where animals don't appear to be in uncomfortably small cages, although they're far from wild.
ReplyDeleteLove your photo of the sleeping koalas. I had a koala sleeping on me almost as soon as we arrived in Queensland, before I'd had any sleep myself. I could have sat down and snoozed with it, but my brother and our friends wanted to eat. Pie and peas after two days of no sleep was a real shock.

Talk about a zoo with a view, Yam. :-) I used to hate zoos in the days of tiny cages, but conditions have improved and like you I recognise the necessity for them.
ReplyDeleteSorry for my recent absence from commenting, but computer time has been limited....
You know what I'm thinking. Haven't heard a peep from the one who suggested you to do the list. C'mon Aitch, waiting!,,,
