Up and out early, to get down to the zoo for opening time (or very nearly). Taronga Zoo is still undergoing major renovations - all of which look better. Amelia wanted to see the elephants, chimpanzees, and Luk Chai, the new baby elephant (again).

Just time for a paddle in the artificial beach at the Southern oceans exhibit and run around the penguin tanks (for Callum), then off home (to the rain!).
