Sydney Aquarium

While Dan was at his conference, I was checking out the Sydney Aquarium where I saw this platypus playing in the water.

And the dugong, a relative to the manatee, otherwise known as a sea cow. The aquarium was nice but crowded with tourists and children on holiday. Everyone was pushy and the place was a bit stuffy so not the best experience but the animals were nice.

Some clownfish in the Reef exhibit.

A nurse shark in the oceanarium part of the aquarium. The sharks & rays were pretty exciting. You walked in glass tunnels through the oceanarium so the sharks were able to swim all around you.
