SeaLife Melbourne

SeaLife Melbourne is large and interesting aquarium on the river in the center of Melbourne. Although the main oceanarium was closed for maintenance, there was still many interesting things to see.

Moray eel, crayfish, lungfish

The jellyfish were particularly interesting, as well as this cuttlefish.

As well as fish, there were other animals such as tree frogs and lizards.

Being Silly at ScienceWorks

 

Today we went to Melbourne's science museum ScienceWorks.

I also designed my car of the future. Predictably R thought it was a terrible design.

Here's a few pictures of some other experiments.

Old Melbourne Gaol

Old Melbourne Gaol is piece of Melbourne's history and it's still standing today! It used to be a prison back in the mid-19th century and was home to some of Australia's most notorious criminals like the bushranger Ned Kelly. However, some prisoners were still kept in the watchtower cells for lockup and drunk tank until as late as 1994!

Nowadays, it's a museum where you can see what it was like to live in the prison. You can see the cells, the execution yard and even the hanging galleries.
