I can recall as a kid in the 1950s that an aquarium was burnt down prior to my arrival in North Carlton. I always thought that it was on the site of current Festival Hall, in Dudley Street, and I can clearly remember that most of the fish died, which is not surprising. Records show that Festival Hall - The Stadium was first built in 1915 and it was indeed destroyed by fire in 1955. My grandparents came to North Carlton in 1925 so I presume that the original aquarium where-ever it may have been, was destroyed between 1925 and 1950. Some clarification would be helpful. Ceryainly the forst aquariumn in Melbourne was not that now on the Yarra.
