Atlantis Marine Park - What Remains?

Opening in Two Rocks on Boxing Day 1981, the Atlantis Marine Park was a unique theme park for Perth including all sorts of performing sea life, primarily dolphins. This story goes deeper, however, involving Alan Bond's Yanchep Sun City and the prime times of the 80s, followed by the downturn of the 90s. Even though it was mostly demolished in the early 90s, there are still remains 30 years later. Let's hop in the Kia and find out what remains!
