Marine Discovery Centre Hastings Point

The Marine Discovery Center at North Star is designed to inspire and educate.

In the 1960s, Ted Brambleby began collecting specimens for the Marine Discovery Centre, which has grown to become one of the largest independent collections in Australia. The passionate environmentalist first shared his displays from the boot of his car, driving coastal roads and stopping to educate beachgoers, scuba divers, snorkellers and like-minded ocean lovers along the way.
