Join us on a visit to Sydney’s wonderful Aquarium. Watch the video see pictures of beautiful fish. There is an underwater glass tunnel. We literally walked among the sharks. We also went on a virtual reality dive with sharks. Amazing.

When visiting Sydney, a visit to the Aquarium is a must. It is in Barangaroo, a short ferry ride from Circular Quay. I hope you enjoy the video.

There is treasure in Manly, an Australian coastal town close to Sydney. You can find the treasures along the waterfront path that joins Manly Beach to Shelly Beach. The treasures consist of sculptures of sea creatures attached to the rock face next to the path. Don’t miss a walk along the path if you are lucky enough to visit gorgeous Manly. Here are some pictures of just some of the sculptures. Please scroll down. There are 6 pictures. Enjoy.
