Sydney Aquarium (as quoted in the Eyewitness Travel Top 10 Sydney)
"See over 12000 all Australian aquatic animals, including sharks, rays and crocodiles. Ride the glass-bottomed boat over the tropical fish in Australia's largest Great Barrier Reef display."
I didn't count to see if there were 12000 animals, but it did take us 2-3 hours to wander around the entire exhibit (we even did it with a 2 yr old and a baby in tow and they didn't get bored once!)
The four glass tunnels where a highlight as was the playful dugong.
The coloured lights in the jellyfish enclosure made for lots of fun photos.
We didn't see the glass-bottom boat, but the Great Barrier Reef exhibition was the last one you go through and my little niece and nephew were ready to go home by then, so we didn't even look for it.

I fell seriously in love with the dugong!
