This week saw the opening of [URL=”http://seaworld.com.au/”]SeaWorld Australia[/URL]’s latest exhibit, [URL=”http://seaworld.com.au/rides-and-attractions/animals/seal-harbour.aspx”]Seal Harbour[/URL].
It’s a large, modern, walk through attraction for viewing seals.
It’s the first seal exhibit in the park for 6 years, despite having [URL=”http://seaworld.com.au/rides-and-attractions/family-entertainment/fish-detectives.aspx”]Sea Lions[/URL] perform elsewhere in the park.
