Great White House

The massive skeleton of a female Southern Right Whale fondly known as Suzi ‘floats’ above the dining area of the of The Great White House as gracefully as a two-ton, 14.3-meter skeleton can. This gentle giant most likely met with her untimely end as a result of a collision with a ship and washed out in Pearly Beach in 2005.

Suzi was officially unveiled as a permanent exhibition in 2013 and is a constant reminder of our responsibility to the marine environment.
