Australia - Koalas Galore and the Zoo

While we were in Sydney I was DYING to spend time with koalas.
I packed my happy ass up Saturday and headed to the Taronga Zoo.
Taronga Zoo is hands down the most amazing Zoo Ive ever been to in my life!
And this girl loves her a zoo!

We took a ferry cruise across the Sydney Harbour to the zoo which is located on the side of a mountain! It was literally one of the most beautiful places Ive ever been!
You take a gondola all the way to the top of the zoo and then follow color codes paths that lead you all the way through the zoo to the bottom. From every location you can see views or the harbour, the city, Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House.












We immediately went to the koalas and signed up to have a meet and greet with the koalas!
It was everything I always thought it would be.
Ruby, Reva and Cecile were the most perfect cuddly koalas Ive ever met in my entire life!
It broke my heart that I couldnt hold them but just spending time with them and talking to them and loving them was good enough to make me happy forever!
I think Mrs. Carol loved it too.

















It seriously took a while to rip me away from these little guys but there was so much left to see!
Here are some of my other favorite animals!









These two baby elephants were absolutely precious!
They rolled around and played in the pool for a while and it was so sweet.
Cutest little guys!






We also saw the most amazing seal show!
They are such intelligent creatures.
I'll post about that Monday!
Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!
