Post lunch and relaxation time, we drove through Merimbula to Long Point to the Merimbula Wharf. Located on the southside of the headland, with 180° views of the ocean and Merimbula Lake, this wharf has a reputation for being a great fishing spot. Sadly though we didn't bring our fishing equipment down to the coast with us, so we opted to visit the Aquarium. Set in the basement of the wharf building, the aquarium boasts a 70,00 litre oceanarium plus 27 individual tanks displaying a wide variety os sea life.
Our tour of the tanks didn't take very long and we even did a second lap to get our moneys worth. By far the most interesting was when the guitarfish stuck its snout up out of the water!
Another display that caught my attention was the exoskeletons of a now decreased resident crayfish over a period of nearly 10 years.
We took advantage of the restaurant / cafe upstairs eating scones and coffee while enjoying the stunning panoramic ocean views. A lovely way to finish off the afternoon!
