Hurrah!! Our Taronga Zoo is reopening.



We missed you and your mates but hear that you'll be back soon.



"The jungle sounds
heard 
at night
across the bay, 

bring a strange 
exotic note 

to suburban
Mosman life; 

to some disturbing, 
to others
a call to adventure."

from 'Mosman Meanders & foreshore flavours'





With the reopening of Taronga Zoo  I'm reminded of the absolute beauty of the site of our zoo.  So much to see, and learn as you walk  'In the wild.'  There are of course beautiful foreshore walks to and from the Zoo, with stunning views of the city as well as historical and cultural interest or you can travel there by car, bus or ferry.


Having animals living in this wonderful, natural environment can sometimes mean that we don't always get the best up-front view, as experienced with the alligators, where from our perspective, we are sometimes only able to observe a large open mouth, obviously waiting to snap but we're more than happy that the animals are happy.
