Taronga Zoo, Sydney, New South Wales, March 31

 Can one go to Australia without seeing a kangaroo?  Certainly not!  But since we have failed to do so up to this point we decided to take in the world-renowned Taronga Zoo in Sydney.  As a side note, nine of the ten most deadly animals in the world reside in Australia.  Hopefully, those of the nine that live in the zoo are well contained.  The Taronga Zoo is home to kangaroos, wallabies, koala bears, platypuses, lemurs, echidnas and many, many more critters.  It is a very well done zoo. Although the San Diego Zoo is larger, the Taronga Zoo is done better.  It is laid out well and the exhibits are top notch.  Plus the views from the zoo cannot be beat.
