Aquascene
At Aquascene, you can feed the fish that come to visit here at feeding times, an entertaining educational experience for the kids. Although an entry fee applies, they supply you with plenty of food. The fish appreciate it and come up very close, some of them being very large.

There was a gallows constructed here in 1952, yet not soon after, Australia began to ban the death penalty, state by state from 1956.
