Day 1: NYE
I arrived in Sydney at 9:40am on the 31st December. Rhys, my boyfriend, had planned a surprise for New Year’s Eve and I had no idea what it could be. We parked the car and walked up a gentle hill. There were lots of people milling around, and as a gap emerged between them I spotted the zoo... Were we really going to spend New Year’s Eve there?! Yes. Torronga Zoo is famous for its view of Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House, and many people go to see that rather than the animals. I was excited about both. Although I lived in Sydney for a year before, I had never been, and I had never seen koalas! The view was breathtaking and it was probably the calmest NYE I’ve ever had. I really enjoyed it. There was even a live swing band and it was funny seeing giraffes by the moonlight, like big dinosaurs nibbling on trees. The fireworks were incredible too; there was even one that made a convincing waterfall. What a lovely way to start 2012!
