The last time I was there was 20 years ago and my OH had a toothache............ that was enough to make us all miserable! 

No.  Much like the MCG they like their concession stands to make money

You can take in your own bottles of water surely?  When we went to Sydney Zoo, we left out lunch in the car boot (esky) and asked if we could go out and come back in and that wasn't a problem.

That's a bit sad.  Is it Government or Privatised?

Taronga has an area where people can sit and have their own lunches. They have lockers where you can keep your food.

Seems I lied! was mistaken (shock, horror, gasp)

That's a bit rough.  Toronga Zoo has some great picnic spots, visitors can bring their own food.

We've taken our own food. We once had a barbecue in an adjoining park too, was quite nice. I like Melbourne zoo, havent been for a few years though.

See post #16. ^^^^^^

I'm gunna staple it to my forehead!
