Sydney Harbour Bridge between my toes
When I buggered off to Oz to marry my other half in February she had arranged a surprise for me. We had two tickets to the Roar and Snore at Taronga Zoo on the outskirts of Sydney.

Now I've always wanted to go to Sydney. It seems to me to be the perfect city. Clean, cosmoplitan, easy to navigate on foot and wherever you turn there's an agreeable expanse of water. It seems that every time you walk down one of its streets, there's a picture postcard view you've seen a million times in front of you.

Well you can imagine how I felt, waking up a dawn listening to the sounds of all of the wild animals in the zoo waking up, looking down between my toes though the fly net at the front of our tent to be greeted by a view of the Harbour Bridge, slowly being lit by the sunrise between my toes! And by craning my neck a little, I could even see the Opera House.....

So I was lying next to my sweetheart in a post coital bliss, listening to gibbons saying good morning and looking out at the finest city in the world. Very nearly perfect and one of the happiest days of my life, second only to the moment I said "I do", three days before on Flagstaff Hill in Wollongong....

Taronga Park Zoo
Isn't really on the outskirts of Sydney... I mean, you can see the CBD from there. Now, maybe some Mosmanites like to think they are on the outskirts. Where I grew up, in Mona Vale, that use to be on the outskirts, back in the 60's and 70's.....

Does it strike anyone else
as just a little inappropriate that it was "post coital" bliss? I mean, surely with only a fly net and I imagine other tourists around you...

We were very quiet......
and we weren't the only ones doing the same thing.

I think it's compulsory at the Roar and Snore
