WHERE IN MELBOURNE PUZZLE
SOLUTION
The picture is of the Melbourne Sea Life Aquarium
located on the corner of King Street & Flinders St, Melbourne.
A LITTLE ABOUT THE AQUARIUM
The Melbourne SeaLife Aquarium is a multilevel building, holding some ten thousand animals including sharks and salt water crocodiles.
Built between February 1998 and December 1999 and designed by Peddle Thorp architects to resemble a ship moored to the river, the aquarium opened in January 2000.
The building extends 7 meters below ground level, housing a 2.2 million litre 'oceanarium in the round' where the visitors and the inhabitants can get up-close and personal.
In 2008 Melbourne Aquarium officially re-opened after a significant expansion (also designed by Peddle Thorp) and now extends from the Yarra River to Flinders Street.
The new expansion features penguin exhibits with real ice and snow to simulate Antarctic conditions.
The aquarium was rebranded as a Sea Life Centre and relaunched in September 2013.
The original Melbourne Aquarium was located in the eastern annex of the Royal Exhibition Building and housed a collection of fish and birds as well as 'performing' seals.
Unfortunately, a fire destroyed the original Aquarium in 1953.
