Underwater World!




Underwater World. Just the name brought me images of that awful Kevin Costner movie. But I figured an Aussie Underwater World would be a bit more fun. It was cute, more for younger kids but we did see a very nice sea lion/seal show. I finally “get” the difference between the two animals. Groucho the Australian seal pantsed a guy who fell in the water, which we enjoyed very much whether it was planned or not.

We did learn that you can be charged astronomical fees if you possess a living or dead goldfish, koi, or several other fish that are highly illegal here. They Aussies are quite serious about protecting their native fish, and invasive ones are NOT welcome!!!

We also went to a beach today, John and Tyler had high hopes of surfing. Unfortunately it was low tide and the waves were very sad. The kids swam, Nana and Tyler combed the beach for shells and coral, and John watched the kids in the water. Mary read a book!

It was not the most exciting day, but it was nice and I did enjoy sitting on the beach listening to all the people talking. Aussie accents are much more interesting than our own.
