Day three was a little less action packed. I decided to take a ferry to Mosman and check out Taronga Zoo. The ferries are a relatively cheap and easy way to get from one part of the harbor to another. Taronga Zoo itself is built on the side of a hill so essentially you start at the top and work your way down.
Taronga Zoo
The elephants had the biggest enclosure. For a brief moment it seemed like we wouldn’t see them but the keepers brought them out for a quick bite to eat.
The local vegetation and forests prove exactly why Mosman is a very desirable place to live. You can forget that just beyond the trees is a very busy city.
The Meerkats are awesome little troopers. Even with 30 petulant primary school children the Meerkats still hung out to see what all the fuss is all about.
Taronga had plenty of goats which had their own little mountain to climb. Ironically, the keepers put the goat enclosure between the Tiger and Lion enclosures.
On the way back, the ferry passed a group of ships sailing towards the city. Considering how choppy the water was I couldn’t help but feel a little seasick.
Phantom of The Opera & Star City Casino
The main purpose of the trip was to kick back for a couple of days. The other purpose was to meet up with a few friends to catch up and have some fun. So it was decided at short notice to watch Phantom of The Opera. Not my first choice since I have already seen it two times. That said, as always Anthony Warlow gave a fantastic performance.
Not much can be said about the casino itself, I don’t think the floor is a big as Crown Casinos. I mainly stayed on the Blackjack tables and occasionally strayed over to the Baccarat. All in all I managed to just do a little better than break even.
