Peter<p>Took the grandies (7 and 5) to Taronga Zoo for the day. 5:30 up, just got home at 20:00. Bloody long day, but Sydney harbour really turned it on. Beautiful weather for a beautiful harbour, and the zoo has improved out of sight since my first visit somewhere around 1967. Two exhausted grandies and two exhausted grandparents. A fantastic and fun day with no agro or meltdowns, not even by me!</p><p><a href="https://theblower.au/tags/Sydney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sydney</span></a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Australia</span></a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/TarongaZoo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TarongaZoo</span></a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/Syd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Syd</span></a> eyHarbour</p>
