Les Wilson Barramundi Discovery Centre

Big things are happening here. A shiny new centre opened in 2019, and it's one of the gulf region's major attractions. Everything you ever wanted to know about barramundi can be learned on the fascinating guided tours at this hatchery and breeding centre for the Southern Gulf barramundi subspecies. You can also hand-feed 'barra'. Expect a vastly improved exhibition space, longer opening hours and higher entry fees.

The gift shop stocks locally made bags and wallets fashioned from barramundi, crocodile and cane-toad leather.
