Australian spring, it is the beginning of spring, September, 5 pm, early evening arrived at Penguin Island, first came to visit the visitor center, can see a lot of plush penguin dolls, can choose at will. Then go to the outer stage, go to wait for the penguin home. It was very windy in the evening, about 7am, it was dark and saw them coming back from a distance. No photos on site, no interruptions for penguins.
The penguins are too good to go back to the nest, but the local day trip reported by the grasshopper's nest is too pitgy. There are three places in the middle to pick up people. Returning to the city is almost 12 o'clock. The little penguins are too cute. One by one, the head is shaking and walking is quite fast. Unfortunately, you can't take pictures.
