After Lizard Island, we moved on to Sydney. We had a belated Thanksgiving dinner (traditional steak, yum!), did some shopping for our impending dive trip, and spent a morning at the zoo.
It's funny - when you sign up for the guided zoo tour they expect you to have kids with you. The poor women (both elderly volunteers) did a double take when they realized it was just Jen and me. They rallied quickly, though, and did a nice job taking us through the zoo.
We saw a koala:

Then there were the Quokkas. We had never heard of these rat-looking things before, but there were two of them running around in the pen for zoo school. The funny part was hearing one of our guides refer to them as "Naughty Quokkas" in an Australian accent. Try saying it - I'll wait:
Last, but not least, here's some video of a bat coming over to say hello. Too bad there weren't bats (plural):
