Australia, Sydney - Sydney Aquarium, it's a Sea Life!

Note from the Author: I wrote this short article in August 1999 when I last visited Sydney. That the aquarium is still around in 2014 speaks volumes about the popularity of this attraction. Reading this article again after so many years reminded me that I should start considering Australia as one of my travel destinations for 2015. After all, Australia is fairly near to Singapore geographically and Sydney (SYD) is just a mere 7.5-hour flight from Singapore (SIN). - Timothy, Oct 2014 I like wildlife, flora and fauna included. Therefore, in planning what to do and see prior to my trip to Sydney, I had earmarked the Australian Natural History Museum and the Sydney Aquarium as must-visits. Before my visit to the Sydney Aquarium, the only other large aquariums featuring marine life that I had been to were at home in Singapore. The former Van Kleef Aquarium near Fort Canning in Singapore is no longer there. The Underwater World in Sentosa Island was and still is a personal favorite.
