The aquarium was pretty cool, especially because it exclusively featured fish from Western Australia. The best part by far was the underwater observation tunnel, which is pictured below:
I also took some video in the tunnel, and managed to capture a pretty funny moment having to do with a certain disoriented sea turtle.
After the aquarium, Vanessa and I walked around the boat harbour a bit to check it out. It wasn't long before the smells of the all the cafes, kebab stands, and gelato shops had us, well at least had me, getting pretty hungry. The choice for dinner was easy. Last week for my birthday, Vanessa took me to a place called Australia's Finest Burgers a.k.a. FAB (I guess they liked FAB better than AFB). As it turns out, not only was it Australia's finest burger, it was the finest burger I had ever had in all my life. The apparent secret was location. All the ingredients in the burger were from local sources. The beef was from the Swan Valley. The bread was baked fresh. Even the lettuce tasted amazing. In fact, even all the pictures on the walls were taken locally at locations around Perth (many of which I had been to). So naturally my choice at Hillary's Boat Harbour was the second and only other location of FAB in Australia. I ordered the exact same thing and again it amazed me. I only wish I had discovered the restaurant before my last two weeks in Perth. I snapped a picture of the super sandwich along with all the fish in the aquarium and put it in an album right here. Enjoy.
Adam, great pictures. The picture of Australia's Finest Burger made me so hungry that I had to take a snack break.
