AQWA The Aquarium of Western Australia…

by on Jul.06, 2016, under Life, Photography

We travelled to the seaside suburb of Hillarys so we could have lunch with some of our Western Australian relatives and whilst there my daughter and I took the opportunity to visit AQWA – The Aquarium of Western Australia.

My youngest daughter really enjoys these types of places so she was particularly happy for our visit to AQWA. It was Australia’s largest aquarium when it opened and still possesses Australia’s largest single aquarium and walk-through underwater tunnel.

The variety of marine life there across the forty odd exhibits was pretty amazing and some of the very large tanks held some amazing and wonderful living creatures. The lighting and display was particularly well done (very dark however) and made for some interesting handheld shooting.
