Great Barrier Reef Aquarium

Wandering around Townsville on the last day of Matt's holiday vacation, we stumbled upon the most marvelous treasure: The Reef HQ Great Barrier Reef Aquarium.

Hopefully this is just a preview of the beautiful reef life we'll be seeing while living here.  Thank goodness I happened to have my camera in my bag so I could share these treasures with you all.

My most favorite creature was the Mantis Shrimp.  He's colorful and crazy looking
