About this audio guide
This guide to AQWA in Hillarys, just north of Perth, sets the aquarium's long-running reputation as one of the world's biggest against what its nineteen eighty-eight opening as Underwater World Perth actually built: a three-million-litre tank wrapped in a ninety-eight-metre acrylic tunnel. It follows the engineering behind that curved glass and the species drawn from across Western Australia coastline, and touches on the rebuild now underway at the site. Listen with your eyes on the tunnel overhead, where the real feat of construction sits.
