Taronga Zoo, by Jack


Yesterday morning, Thursday the 17th of May,  we packed up the caravan and said goodbye to Gazza and Lloyd (aka Kath n Kim) and then to our surprise Lloyd brought out a birthday cake for Nina and sang Happy Birthday to her, she had told him earlier that there were only 7 days until her birthday.
It was a really nice gesture...

...after that we got in the car and we headed to Sydney. On the way we stopped in Ulladulla to have breakfast. We continued on until we reached Kiama where we  stopped to look at the blowholes.

The whole coastline was very pretty. When we got to Sydney it was so big it was getting dark so we set up the caravan in a National Park called Lane Cove, then we went to bed.

This morning, Friday the 18th of May  we were all exited because we were going to Taronga Park Zoo. We left the caravan park and we walked to the train station and got on a train and we got off at Wynyard, then we got on another train and went to The Rocks.

Then we got on a Ferry to get to the Zoo. On the way we got to see a great view of the Sydney harbour bridge and the opera house...

on the way we saw Elephants, when we got up we went and saw some koalas they were all asleep, except this one...

I can't say all of the animals because we saw lots but some of my favourites were the Meercats, seals and  birds...

After seeing all the animals we went back on the Ferry and back across to the other side we then caught a train, Nina fell asleep on the way...
