Townsville: Day Thirty-Six (24 November)


Today we went to the Aquarium in Townsville, which is called Reef HQ. It is brilliant: you are even allowed to put your hand in the water and touch some of the exhibits. We learnt about sea turtles, saw lots of reef fish (including clown fish like Nemo) and even watched people feeding the sharks.
Afterwards we relaxed at the Rockpool on the Strand and enjoyed a chocolate and macadamia icecream. Macadamias are a kind of nut, which grows in Australia. They taste especially nice covered with chocolate (doesn't everything :-).
