We had been to the beautiful city of Cairns before but had not been to their amazing aquarium, so that is where we headed. And it certainly did not disappoint! With over 16,000 animals in 71 different habitats, it is by far the largest and most incredible aquarium we’ve been to. They are dedicated to the conservation of the animals and plants that live in two adjoining World Heritage-listed areas, the Great Barrier Reef and The Wet Tropics of Queensland. The aquarium is set up uniquely as well. Upon entering, you follow the journey of a drop of rain as it descends from the mountain ranges down into rivers and streams, through the rainforest, across the mangroves, into the shallows of the reef, and finally into the depths of the Coral Sea. It was a very enjoyable experience and a must-see if you ever have the opportunity to visit this wonderful city!
