Today’s story is one of the stranger stories we have ever covered. It takes place in the land down under Australia at the place formally known as the Australian Wonderland Park. This wildlife park was one a thriving tourist haven, for locals and people just visiting to come get a close up look at rescued wildlife from all continents across the globe. This wildlife attraction had been around for decades and was the go to place in Bass Victoria Australia.
Late in 2012, the park shut down, to put it into perspective in 365 days the park would receive 1 million visitors! You can imagine their dismay when it suddenly shut down without warning. It was the habitat for over 600 mostly Australian rescued animals where you could really get a feel for that vintage Australia vibe.
One man, named Luke Macpherson had being going to the park with his family since he was a young lad. This was a once a year extravaganza that the Macpherson family did for decades. Luke had been fascinated and studied animals his entire life, so not only was he losing his once a year education, getting up close and person with the wildlife, but it felt like a piece of his family was being torn away from him. All his memories as a boy felt like they were being cut away from the fabric of his mind.
Eventually the young man moved on, but he soon started a new hobby which is known as an urban explorer. For those of you unfamiliar with the term ‘urban explorer’ it is somebody who discovers and looks through abandoned places that once were a big deal, but now we’re nothing more than a slowly decaying artifact of the past.
He had gone to many places to discover and explore hidden treasures in places that just didn’t exist anymore, but the remnants of their footprint fascinated young Luke. One morning he woke up, and something just told him to go check out the abandoned and shut down Australian Wonderland Park which he loved so much growing up. As it turns out the owners of the old park hadn’t been keeping up with proper hygiene and Australian protocol and the animals weren’t being properly cared for. The news reported that all the wildlife and animals were sent off to other zoos and wildlife parks in the surrounding area.
Luke’s mind was running a mile a minute. What if they were in such rush to shut the place down, that animals were left there to fend for themselves? Could they have survived without human care and intervention? Was anything left of the park at all, or would just be a deserted wasteland overgrown junk with nothing exciting to find. He wouldn’t know till he actually traveled to his old favorite place and explored for himself.
When he got through the gates, to check out what was let of the park, he couldn’t have been more let down. The park was in complete shambles. Trash was everywhere, graffiti, all the buildings were completely dilapidated and the place had truly become a complete dump. That is until he found a strange building with the door slightly open.
He walked in and couldn’t believe his eyes. It was pretty much a scene out of a horror movie. There was a tank filled with what looked like green sewage water and a giant that looked like a ghost or zombie was just floating in the green murky water. This shark’s name was Rosie and her story is fascinating.

Video: He Takes an Aquarium And Turns It Over So It’s Inverted. The Result Is STUNNING!
Aquariums tend to be quite limited in terms of shape and what you can do with them. Most are simple rectangles or bowls that end up sitting on a flat surface or stand. The same cannot be said for the majority of outdoor fish ponds, they’re much more versatile and many are custom made. Even so, they also seem to follow a very general design type!
However, if the two are combined, like how YouTuber TCHelmut did in this video, you end up with one truly amazing looking aquascape! The creative German took his outdoor koi pond to the next level by flipping a plain old aquarium upside down and sticking it in the middle of the water. His ingenious idea is the perfect way to transform a run of the mill garden pond into a stunning masterpiece that’s fun to look at!
It’s also fun and neat for the koi fish. According to TCHelmut every day the koi in the pond swim up into the glass tower to check things out and have a look around. They’re free to come and go and they please and some even stay there for hours on end taking in the 360 degree view.
And while at first glance the tank looks incredibly cramped and overcrowded with way too many koi fish, it’s not as bad as it initially appears. The water and glass distort our view of what’s inside and make the koi appear larger than they actually are.
The visually impressive inverted fish tank is one part magic, one part work of art. Check it out and show this unique idea with friends, family, and any fish or aquarium enthusiasts you may know!
