Aquarium Passage, Hemmant

Aquarium Passage is a tidal waterway in Hemmant, a riverside suburb of Brisbane, Queensland, connecting to the Brisbane River.

The passage takes its name from the historic Queensport Aquarium, a short-lived amusement park that operated nearby from 1889 to 1901. Over time the area evolved into a mooring ground for amateur boaties, small vessels, and houseboats.

Access to the passage is available via the Aquarium Avenue Boat Ramp, a single-lane concrete ramp with a floating timber pontoon suited to tinnies, kayaks, and other small craft. The ramp is tide-dependent and the surface can be slippery when wet.

The passage and surrounding waters are also known as a recreational fishing spot, with species such as bream, javelin grunter, and grouper recorded in the area.
