Breakfast at the hotel then we walked to Wharf 6 to catch a ferry and bumped into the couple we had met in Melbourne Old Gaol who were catching the same ferry as us although getting off at a different stop!

Before we left the hotel we heard that there had been a fatal plane crash involving a club plane from our local (NZ) Hawke’s Bay Aero Club that morning, which was very upsetting to hear.

More Harbour Bridge climbers.

We visited Taronga Zoo. Well worth a visit.

A Rose-crowned Fruit-dove.

A King Parrot.

A Goodfellow’s Tree Kangaroo.

Wallabies and Kangaroos. Note the lizard joining one of them.

 

Lemurs.

Koalas. It’s a hard life!

We had to leave the zoo sooner than we wanted as we had tickets to a 90 mins ‘Great Opera Hits’ performance at the Opera House, in the Joan Sutherland Theatre.

Obligatory pre-performance ice cream.

We were even encouraged to sing at the end so we can now say we’ve sung at the Sydney Opera House!

The sun was beginning to set.

We had a pre-dinner ice cream to check a different manufacturer.

We had dinner in the same place as the first night and were charged less because they recognised us! 🙂

Fireworks!
