We really liked the zoo also, but they had a major part of the grounds torn up and fenced off, as heavy equipment was beginning a major renovation and improvement project. When completed, it should be really lovely. Also, even though we rode the gondola up and walked down, it was very tiring and painful for me. Really enjoyed the outdoor bird show (took digivideo).
At the zoo was one of the few anti-American experiences we had -
I was standing near a railing, composing a picture, and a woman walked in FRONT of me, between me and the railing. I said "Excuse me!!" and she said something out loud like "Americans think they own the world, they should just stay home." I was too surprised to retort that had I known she was going to be there, I would have.

Kewl.
We went to the aquarium and Taronga Zoo on different days, so I sorted them by
the datestamp on the JPG file :-)
At the zoo, did you do the "get your picture taken next to a Koala" bit? That
was fun (they use your camera, or you can take it of your companion yourself).
