Seriously, you cannot believe the view from here - the giraffes have multimillion dollar views of the Sydney Harbor.
We got our first sighting of a kangaroo, koala and wallaby in the zoo. While not exactly in their natural environment, it marked a milestone.
Oh, we also saw a Tasmanian Devil, who didn't look even remotely like the Looney Tunes one I remember.
, although he did run around and around and around while we watched him. The Devils are in trouble because of a nasty cancer that is attacking them - because each one is so genetically similar to all the others, their body doesn't know to fight the cancer when it encounters it.
We were not so lucky to catch the shy platypus in action. However, lots of excitement at the bird show when a parrot took a coin from a woman and returned an engagement ring instead of the coin. Romance at the zoo!
Daniel, or "you there in the blue jumper" (and cool shades), was picked to assist in getting a seal to jump and touch a ball at the seal show. Then our star needed a break from fame so settled in with the casual reading he smuggled on the trip.
We rode the Sky Safari a few times - a round trip ride to and from the top of the zoo:
Finally, we fed the giraffes - even Mr. Charlie.

So that is what a platypus looks like! It's very cute.
