Hiya Matt,

Mate, if you have a couple of hours spare and enough money for a tram ticket ... I would highly recommend checking out Subscape Aquarium in Richmond (not far from CBD at all).

They have a True Altum display that will blow ya mind and a usually have a great display of discus, cats, geo's and angels for sale. Easily one of the best Aqaurium in Melb IMO and would be only 15mins on a tram from the center of town. Here's the adress -

Subscape Aquarium

310 Victoria Street, Richmond 3121 - Phone: (03) 9427 0050

While your in Victoria St and feel a little peckish, grab some of Melbourne's best roast duck or pork from Pacific House, same side as Subscape, but about 500m back towards town ... you won't regret either of the two.

Have a good day in Melb mate :D

Cheers,

Dee :D

Subscape is definately a wonderful place to visit. Huge range of fish, but unfortunately the altum display has gone. Seems they had a few problems.
