26 (32) Sydney Aquarium and Oceanworld at Manly
A visit to Manly Oceanworld
or Sydney Aquarium is a good lousy weather activity. Having the
sharks, manta rays and other large beasties swim so close up is
pretty 'cool'. Two options - Sydney Aquarium at Darling Harbour
or Manly Oceanworld surprisingly at Manly. The Sydney Aquarium at
Darling Harbour is the larger of the two but Oceanworld at Manly
is none-the-less impressive for its smaller size. If you're really
adventurous it is possible, at least at Oceanworld, to go for a
dive in the tank with the sharks!
.................rather you than me.
Swimming with the Sharks
You
have got to be joking!
"Here is your
chance to get up close and personal with huge grey nurse sharks,
giant stingrays, sea turtles, wobbegong sharks, moray eels and much
more. Under a safe and controlled environment with professional
dive instructors - this is the opportunity of a lifetime!"
Which is the best Aquarium
in Sydney?
Visit either Sydney Aquarium
or Oceanworld in Manly which ever is the most convenient on the
day and aim to be there during feeding times (but not if you're
planning a dip!). Feeding time at Oceanworld is interesting as the
giant Mantra Rays 'cuddle' the divers handing out the fish. Click

What's going on behind
Sydney Aquarium?
Behind the Sydney Aquarium
you'll find some wild, wild life:
Wild
Life Sydney - (ex Sydney Wildlife World)
There used to be a jocular
myth about being able to see kangaroos hopping down George Street,
Sydney's main high street. The opening of Sydney's new zoo - Sydney
Wildlife World, sorry - Wild Life Sydney - has come close into turning
this poor old joke into a reality.
Wild Life Sydney adds
to the cage (sorry, zones) vs natural environment dilemma. By placing
Sydney’s latest Zoo in Darling Harbour, walking distance from
George street and the CBD the wildlife really has come to town.
So should you go? Would
you be missing out if you didn’t? I guess it depends upon
how much time do you have and how do you like your Koala, nicely
packaged or el natural.
