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. The process of restoring and preserving Suzi’s bones took seven years and the actual hosting of her frame above the main seating area took three nights... and legend has it, 10 pizzas! Suzi was officially unveiled as a permanent exhibition in 2013 and is a constant reminder of our responsibility to the marine environment.
