The Aquarium doesn't change much, so it was a quick tour around until we hit the new exhibition. The baby Hammerheads were in a little netted off section of the big shark tank. (So they are hard to photograph) The scareist looking shark they have in the tank is called Mitchell. He is a Grey Nurse and is around 3m long. But it is those eyes of empy death that make him look scary. They have a "show/talk" called Sharks after Dark, where they turn off all the lights in the walkway and round room of the shark tank and an aquarium worker gives a talk about the sharks and various other fishspotlighting them with a torch. It was informative and fun even if it was directed at little people.
GB and I love doing these kinds of things. And after our "holiday of Awesome" we agreed that we should try and have more days were we behave like tourists in our own town.
