A day in Perth

Perth under a full moon

Today we visited the aquarium in Hillary’s Harbour.  We spent a couple of hours there in the morning, then ate our lunch back in the motorhome, and returned for another hour or so in the afternoon.  It was nicely done and we enjoyed learning the names of some of the fish that we have seen while snorkeling.  They also have an underwater tunnel where you travel around on a moving platform while looking up into a large tank of fish including sharks and rays.  One of the rays was very large and it was interesting to watch it swim just above your head.  There were scuba divers in the tanks feeding the rays in the morning, and they held the small dead fish right in the mouth of the ray.

The Hurleys took us to Freemantle for supper.  We drove around the dock area for a while, then had fish and chips for supper.  After that they took us to King’s Park.  The moon was just rising over the city, and many people were there photographing the moonrise.
