Day 228 Penguin Parade 20 September 2012

We left Geelong to drive to Philip Island home of the Penguin Parade.

Since we arrived early at our holiday camp we enjoyed the facilities and went for a swim in the heated indoor pool. Then we drove to the Nobbles, where a colony of 40,000 little penguins is located.

We saw a significant number of those waggling past us returning from the sea to their burrows around sunset. Unfortunately no pictures were allowed, but they sure looked cute (especially in their sweaters)!

 

We were warned to look out for penguins under our campervan, unfortunately/fortunately none were hiding out.
