Day 4

We spent the morning at Taronga Zoo, after a quick ferry trip across the harbour from Circular Quay.  It is slightly larger than Bristol zoo! The boys were happy to spend five hours there! It also had great views back at the Sydney skyline. Late afternoon was spent at Manly doing some shopping and finished with some touch rugby on the beach as the sun set.
The evening was spent in Kangaroo court, with The Honourable Judge Smith presiding over matters.  Some interesting cases were put forward, matched only by the peculiar defences and the fact that Robert West was thrown out of court for laughing uncontrollably.
Awards were also given for performance highlights during our first match and the special award for our first "Flaming Gallah" of the tour, you may notice the ceremonial headwear that he will be sporting in future photos.
This morning, the boys are packed and breakfasted and look forward to a slightly shorter flight to Brisbane for the second leg.

See you in sunny Queensland.

Here are a couple of photos from the day. The top one shows our new Tasmanian open-side flanker.
