Taronga Zoo

On my own today.  His Lordship has developed a man cold and is back at the house recuperating.  So just a little trip today to Taronga Zoo, a short ferry ride from central Sydney.



So just a few animal pics today.

Tree kangaroos


Koalas - very boring to watch as they just sleep all the time!
      

No not a turkey wrapped in a fluffy ball but a Southern Cassowary.


And, of course, you have to have some photos of kangaroos when in Oz (they are on the left by the way!)




And an Emu to finish off.


Tomorrow we board our cruise ship at Sydney Harbour.

The Blue Mountains

A trip up the Blue Mountains today. A thunderstorm last night has thankfully brought down the temperature a little (I realise that, reading this in the UK, you’d probably think I am very ungrateful for hot temperatures but this is definitely too much for me!). When we first arrived we thought the mist was really thick and we thought we would see nothing as you can see from the pic. However, the mist lifted through the day and we finally got some views. This is called the three sisters. This is supposed to be the steepest funicular railway in the world. Difficult to capture exactly how steep but all those seats that look laid back at the station are bolt upright as you go down! No idea why a photo with a stuffed parrot was necessary!! But a nice afternoon in an interesting park - even a bit of exercise up some steep steps - thank goodness for those gym sessions. Watch the blog tomorrow for the views from the top of Sydney Bridge.

Rotorua

Rotorua is my idea of what NewZealand is like - geothermal parks, geysers, hot springs and mud pools.  We visited a couple of geothermal parks and the scenery is stunning.     This is one of the biggest geysers in the area. Also found some Mauri emojis - very expressive- think these might be useful back in my office       Back to ship and headed for our final stop - Auckland where we are headed for Hobbitland - some of the film set from Lord of the Rings.
