Aquarium of Western Australia is located just a 20-minute walk from the center of Perth, Hillarys Boat Bay.
The history of its creation is very interesting: in the 1970s, businessman Morris Kahn and his son diving in the Red Sea. At some point, the boy began to very quickly come to the surface, and my father to help him avoid the bends sharply swam after him and as a result has damaged his eardrums. The rest of the holiday Maurice Kahn spent on the beach, where he began to think about how to move underwater life of the ocean to the shore to admire it could all those who for various reasons can not dive. So the idea of creating an entertainment park "Coral World" department which is open around the world.
In 1991, Maurice Kahn bought in Perth Park "Underwater World" to build in its place a huge aquarium with close to natural habitat conditions. His idea was to make people feel at the bottom of the ocean! I must say that the company is able to Cana - Today «Coral World International» is a recognized authority in the field of reconstruction of the complex marine ecosystems and coral growing in artificial conditions.
In 2001, the "Underwater World" was renamed the "Aquarium of Western Australia» - AQWA . Today it is possible to get acquainted with the diversity and splendor of the marine flora and fauna of the coastline of Western Australia . The exhibition is divided into five sections that recreate different ecosystems: Big South Coast, Coast Perth Marmayona Marine Park, Shipwreck Coast and Far North . In the area of the Far North offer visitors to discover one of the most remote regions of the world, inhabited by dangerous marine animals - blue stingrays, clown fish, crocodiles and deadly poisonous stone fish .
