🇦🇺 MUST-SEE! Townsville’s

😍 What’s it like to attend an art exhibit… underwater? 📍 Museum of Underwater Art (MOUA) – Townsville, Queensland ❤️ WHY IT’S UNMISSABLE 1️⃣ Opened Aug 2020 – Only underwater museum in the Southern Hemisphere! 2️⃣ Artist: Jason deCaires Taylor (sculptor + eco-warrior), 4 years in the making. 3️⃣ 64-ton artworks rest 18m below sea level at John Brewer Reef (Great Barrier Reef). 4️⃣ Eco-materials: Corrosion-proof steel + pH-neutral cement → coral grows on them! 🌱 5️⃣ Two exhibits: "Ocean Siren" (The Strand, Townsville) – 4m tall, color-shifts with real-time reef data (202 LEDs = climate warning 🚨). "Coral Greenhouse" (John Brewer Reef) – slowly embraced by marine life over 3 years. 🚀 HOW TO GET THERE ✈️ Fly direct from Sydney/Melbourne/Brisbane to Townsville. 🚗 Road trip from Cairns (~380km). 🤿 HOW TO EXPERIENCE IT Snorkel or dive (book tours from Townsville/Magnetic Island). Bonus nearby: 🐠 Reef HQ Aquarium (world’s largest living coral exhibit + turtle hospital!). 🚢 SS Yongala wreck (top 10 dive site globally!). #Townsville #GreatBarrierReef #UnderwaterArt #EcoTravel
