SOUTH AUSTRALIA'S LOST ATTRACTIONS Part 1 - MARINELAND AT WEST BEACH
I thought I'd start a South Australian Lost Attractions video collection. And I'm playing around with making my own Animations. I used to teach Animation to Year 8-10 in the 2000's.
Adelaide had a wonderful Marineland at West Beach from 1969 to 1988 when it was officially closed down.
"Exhibits included local species such as the Australian pelican,[1] Little penguin,[2] Australian sea lion, Long-nosed fur seal, Southern rock lobster, sea urchins, leatherjackets and other fishes.[3] In 1974, a loggerhead turtle that had been caught in a crayfish pot off Kangaroo Island was put on exhibit.[4] In 1987, a sea lion pup, believed to have been orphaned was taken into care at Marineland.[5] Bottlenose dolphins were trained to perform tricks, including one called Nipper, who had been caught in the wild by fishermen at Outer Harbor then taught to leap through a flaming hoop. Patrons were also able to "dine with dolphins" while seated in a restaurant with windows into the dolphin enclosure.
Helicopter joyflights on the Seven Network helicopter could also be taken from Marineland for a fee." (Wikipedia, 18th June 2024)
