    Marineland was on the Gold Coast.
    In 1965 the Gold Coast had its first major marine animal park open, called the Seaquarium, and its focus was predominantly on marine rescue and rehabilitation. The Seaquarium soon changed its name to Marineland and thrived as the Gold Coast’s major marine life park. However, following the emergence of Sea World, who were slowly but surely introducing dolphins and marine exhibits of their own, it soon became clear that only one marine life park would survive. In 1976, Sea World bought Marineland, effectively swallowing up Sea World’s only real competition.
    I've a vague memory of going there as a young boy when our family owned a beach house on the Gold Coast (worth a couple of mill' now!)

      If only we knew what ocean-side real estate would rise to!
      I think I went there in the mid 60s or so when we stayed at Mermaid Beach. Simpler times.
