Here in Sydney, the Museum of Contemporary Art is cool. It features lots of crazy photographs, interactive art (woo!), and a sculpture of a funky fat Porsche.

Meanwhile, Taronga Zoo is also cool, has cute snow leopards and red pandas, and even puts on a seal show to rival Sea World.

After some hassles with a stupid bus that doesn’t run on public holidays (even though it goes to tourist attractions that are open), I spent my last day in Victoria down at Werribee, home of the open range zoo and a cool old mansion set in massive parklands. The zoo was awesome, although our safari bus ride was slightly spoiled by selfish, er, international tourists who neither controlled their small children nor followed the zookeeper’s instructions.
