Visit to the aquarium
Ethereal Moon Jellyfish
Opened in 2017, Cairns Aquarium houses 15,000 animals organised into 10 eco-systems, and includes an ocean tank which holds 1,800,000 litres of water, and Australia’s largest freshwater tank, holding 400,000 litres. Accompanying us on our tour was a very knowledgeable guide, although being a kiwi, she wasn’t that easy to understand ! We will let the pictures speak for themselves.
The night tour offered by the aquarium is not only a private viewing with around a dozen people, but is also when many of the animals come to life as they do in the wild.
Note: we didn’t take notes as we undertook the tour, so we were left with the task of trying to identify all the animals we took pictures of. To achieve this we used chatGPT which we know does make mistakes. If we have misidentified anything, just let us know and we will change it.
