    Hey all

    I haven't posted up pics in a while, so I thought I'd put up shots from my latest visit to Durban's marine park :) I go to uShaka roughly 2 to 3 times a year, I absolutely love the place and could spend many hours just gazing. However, whoever is with me normally demands a 5 hour time limit. Which works for me. :bigsmile:

    Anyways, here the shots are:

    Relatively new additions - spinner sharks. Add some nice activity to the tank.

    I hope you enjoyed- I might post up some shots of their 'Dangerous Creatures' displays at a later stage for those reptile and amphibian fans

    Cheers
