Aquatic Adventures

Firstly i have to say i am in love...with a Dugon!  What an incredible creature.  Ugly. Gorgeous at the same time.         




Feeding Time - between 80 & 90 KILOS of lettuce every day!




We met up with Suzi & J at their home and followed them into the city (i was scared i would get lost!) Gorgeous day for our adventure to Sydney Aquarium and apparently 75% of Sydney's population thought so too. I cant get over how big Darling Harbour is compared to what it was like when i last was there.  We were so excited to be there and it was lovely to watch Christie be excited about something.  Mostly i think we were excited about seeing the sharks but it seems that we were mostly in love with the Dugon.  Sharks were interesting and kind of scary, but the Dugon was just adorable!  You really must go and see the mini site about the Dugons at the aquarium.  I am not sure which Dugon the above photo is of.
The Aquarium had some amazing displays, built entirely of Lego!

Over 1.5 million Lego bricks were used to make the models at Sydney Aquarium and Wildlife World. That is a heck of a lot of Lego! Wonder what they're going to do with them all when they have finished??

It was really worth the effort to visit the Aquarium and next time i think i will plan to explore Darling Harbour further!
