Year 6 student Takoda Johnson is pretty chuffed to be part of the Southern Hemisphere's first Museum of Underwater Art.
The MOUA board said discussions about a proposed sculpture at Magnetic Island off Townsville were still underway with no imminent plans."The one on The Strand is accessible to everyone and it's amazing at night," Dr Smith said."It's at a beautiful, sheltered site at John Brewer Reef that will be accessible to snorkellers and scuba divers, and it's near one of the best reefs, in my view, on the whole Great Barrier Reef.
"[There is] up to 85 per cent coral cover, diverse fish, so that tourists, scientists, and I hope a lot of the community from Townsville will plan to go out and see amazing underwater sculptures but also a healthy reef.""We imagine there will be an awful lot of interest," he said.Topics:
