It was time to leave Launceston. We visited the lolly shop and then hit the road for a massive day of adventures. The first stop was seahorse world.

The tour of seahorse world was really amazing. We learnt a lot about them and saw them being fed. The babies ate sea monkeys!
We learned lots of facts. Seahorse dads are the ones who have the babiesRead more
What an awesome holiday. And that is one of the places I want to visit. When I had my beautiful sea horses that was where they came from.
Ann OldmeadowI have never heard of sea horse world - it sounds so interesting. I know Ruby loves sea horses. They are such strange little creatures!

It was so hard to choose seahorse photos, we got so many great ones!

We got to feed and pat lots of great animals. So many pictures, so hard to choose! Ruby patted the sugar glider and got bitten, we decided that was a rare and unique experience not many people have.
Loving the pics! Looks like a fantastic time is being had by all. Jack says hi to Sam and is looking forward to their next catch up! 😀
