Koala(03 of20)
Open Image ModalThe beautiful Autralia Koala.Despite having 1500 photos to filter through, I still feel our pictures only scratch the surface when I think back at the amazing places we visited in Southern and Eastern Australia this Christmas.This first album revisits our first 3 days in Oz, which we spent in Sydney before flying down to Melbourne.These are mostly snapshots from a daytrip we took to Taronga Zoo (http://taronga.org.au/) on the northern side of Sydney Habour, which also treated us to some wonderful views back towards the city.In retrospect the truely wild animals were waiting for us in Victoria on our Great Ocean Road journey, but Taraonga Zoo was a wonderful place that didn't feel too touristy, commercialised or exploitative of the animals, all of whom were clearly looked after really well. A really fantastic zoo that was well worth the visit.https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.718120097066.1073741832.265500045&type=1&l=1a00068c75 (credit:Chris Cherrett/500px)
