Sydney also has an excellent Zoo (The Tooronga Park Zoo) which is a short and ferry ride across the harbour.) The ferry terminal is also close to where most of the cruise ships dock in Sydney

We skipped the Australian animals as we have a great hands on facility where we live in Townsville. The only queues (quite short actually) we had were at lemurs and butterflies. We enjoyed the elephant show and the feeding giraffes. Hope that helps
