SEA LIFE Melbourne Aquarium

King St, Melbourne VIC 3000

Ship-shaped riverside aquarium sunk deep into the ground, home to king and gentoo penguins and an oceanarium of sharks.

This guide to SEA LIFE Melbourne Aquarium centers on April 2000, three months after the building opened, when something began drifting unseen from its rooftop cooling towers into the street outside. It follows the outbreak that resulted and the faulty equipment behind it, then contrasts that hidden hazard with the aquarium's low, ship-like hull, sunk seven meters into the ground beside the Yarra so it would not tower over the street.
