Australia Tourist Trap Tips by MichaelFalk1969
Australia Tourist Traps: 63 reviews and 35 photos
Not exactly a tourist trap but surely overrated. A bunch of chinese restaurants, shops .. and that`s it.
The entrance to this exhibition is a giant shark´s jaw which is good for a photo. The exhibition is rather gory and sickening. Vic Hislop is a former salesman turned shark hunter who had a problem with the hunting ban on sharks. He tries to prove that the number of human shark victims is probably much higher than the official numbers; his conclusion is that the big man-eating sharks (White shark, Tiger Shark, Bull shark) are evil creatures that should be eradicated from this planet. While he has a point that the statistics might not be exact, his intention to hunt all killer sharks to extinction is rather weird.
There are some truly brilliant photographs of monster sharks in the exhibit, which might make it worthwile for the shark aficionado despite the dubious general message.
To add insult to injury, the entrance fee is rather expensive.
Unique Suggestions: Have a laugh at Vic Hislop.
