Day 83: Shark Bay (Day 1)
Me, Mum, and Olivia saw the blood moon it was really cool. A blood moon is when the earth blocks the sun from the moon. This is called an eclipse. To see the blood moon we went to bed after dinner and woke up around 1.30am. Then we stayed up for an hour and a half to watch the earth block the sun light. We also saw a few shooting stars.
Later after the sun came we went to the Ocean Park Aquarium where we saw lots of fish. There was lion fish, clown fish, stone fish, lemon sharks 🦈, sand bar sharks 🦈, and a really big fish called the estuary cod. And that is just a few of them. When at the aquarium they feed the sharks 🦈 by using a rod to hang a fish head over the water. The sharks 🦈 viciously pulled the fish head off the rod to eat it.
Fun fact - stone fished can move very fast. If you step on them they will hurt you a lot. It is very painful but will not kill you unless you have a heart attack.
Then we went to Eagle Bluff. At Eagle Bluff lookout we saw a few rays and a shark 🦈 in the water from up high on the cliff.
Last we went to Shell Beach. It had lots and lots of tiny shells instead of sand. Where I made a shell castle.
