I couldn't resist going back to the Melbourne Aquarium during mom's visit here. I'm glad we went, because the second time around I saw much more and got better photos. Here are some of the best ones, a few of which mom took. We got to see a dive feed in the oceanarium where two divers feed the big fish, sharks, rays, and turtles, and we also heard a talk about ocean life. I'm not going to try and identify all the creatures in the photos, but I've labeled some of them. You can visit some of the creatures at the aquarium yourself by clicking here and choosing "Animals @ MAQ". There is a great guide to Australian fishes here with a step-by-step guide to identifying them, as well as photos and factual information.
