#4: A visit to the Melbourne Aquarium

I toured the Melbourne Aquarium today and got to observe their seadragon display.

Seadragon exhibit

After seeing their dragons and other local specimens I am now even more eager to do some diving this weekend.

Here are a few highlights from my aquarium visit:

Estuarine Stonefish

King Penguin

Sevengill Shark

Tomorrow I take a trip down to Phillip Island to see the "penguin parade."

Cheers,
Jeremy
