Eighties flashback to Atlantis Marine Park
May 14, 2008 · Print This Article
A recent post on The Worst From Perth made me laugh… and remember one of the first dates I went on with Groover.
We went up to Atlantis Marine Park to see the Dolphin show… It must have closed pretty soon after and the dolphins went to Underwater World - now AQWA. It was a pretty sad story actually because the dolphins had been caught in the wild. They had some babies. By the time the dolphin show thing stopped, they couldn’t reacclimatise so they went to Underwater World. And then, as we know just a few years ago the last three dolphins died mysteriously.
Anyway back to Atlantis Marine Park… there were all these limestone statues in a big circle and we had fun getting up close and personal with them…
The sort of silly stuff you do when you’re young and in love… (hmmm check out those shoulder pads and high waisted baggy jeans! Sexy stuff.)
Okay, perhaps not the best look, but this was before we got really PC in the mid-nineties…
I always wondered what happened to them… and now I know thanks to TWOP!
Weren’t the dolphins poisoned or something?
Great photos. I recognise Elvis, but who’s the woman?
Marilyn I think.
I think shoulder pads are poised for a BIG comeback.
