[mysterious music] Welcome to Mystery Kids Podcast. Well, hello everyone. I hope you had a happy May. I can't believe we're already at the end of it. But welcome back to the Mystery Kids Podcast. I'm Tess, and today we're talking about one of the strangest abandoned places ever discovered, and the giant shark that was left behind inside it. Now, if you'll notice on Patreon, I have an episode called Rosie the Shark. This one's a little bit different. We're gonna talk about Rosie again, but this is a different shark story. Her name was Rosie, and for years she sat silently inside a giant tank in a forgotten Australian wildlife park, while dust covered the floors, vines climbed the walls, and explorers snuck inside to see her. Some people called it creepy, some people called it sad, and others thought it looked like something straight out of a post-apocalyptic movie. I would agree with that. But the weirdest part is Rosie was real, and her story is stranger than most people realize. Ah, so grab your flashlight, imagine an abandoned aquarium in the middle of nowhere, and let's dive into the mystery of Rosie the shark.
