href=\"https:\/\/www.cairnsaquarium.com.au\/tours-activities\/annual-pass\/\">annual pass<\/a>! It was at this time that we started to watch 72 Dangerous Animals Australia TV series on <a href=\"http:\/\/netflix.com.au\">Netflix<\/a>. We loved watching the episodes, which often showed various aquatic animals, then we would go to the aquarium and see them first hand. It was scary how many of the list of deadly animals lived where we lived, Far North Queensland. When you walk into the aquarium you start with the fresh water fish. When you go upstairs you go past turtles, through a rain forest section, reptiles including pythons, tree monitors, and crocodiles, crayfish, the reef tank, which is fantastic. Then you walk through jelly fish, coral reef fish, a marine touch tank and finish with sharks and rays. They do daily talks in different sections of the aquarium at different times, so make sure you check what talks and shows you want to attend when you arrive.<\/p><p><br \/>Note &#8211; Unfortunately I am really special with technology and i managed to loose a heap of our photos. All of my Aquarium photos (even though we went several times) were amongst the loss. I have temporarily borrowed the above images from google until we can get back to Cairns and revisit the Aquarium and take our own photos. Please advise us if you own any of the images and want them removed and they will be removed immediately.
