Today is my birthday so I decided I would have to better last year’s swimming with dolphins outing.
Port Stephens N.S.W. has a Shark & Ray Rescue Centre but now they also have a butterfly room.




Injured and surrendered reptiles are also a new additions.


There’s also an out walk-in bird aviary which also has a turtle pond. Unfortunately, the water was stirred up with heavy raindrops. So no turtle photos in the pond. However, this cheeky one decided he liked to sit on my head.

We then headed for the stingray tanks before not so calmly climbed in with the sharks.


These stingrays were like slippers as I scuffed around the tank. The water was murky but there were definitely sharks swimming past me and around me.

Thanks. It took me awhile to move from the top step into the water. Especially the shark tank.
