This article was posted on July 21, 2004
Phillip Island is a small island and ecology reserve off the beach of South Australia, about 140 km from Melbourne. On the island you can see koalas, kangaroos and the chief to attraction, the Penguin Parade on Summerland Beach.
Every daytime at sunset, the Little Penguins (likewise known as Fairy Penguins) because of their diminitive size, return to the beach. As my husband is a penguin devotee, it was one of the locations on our account to visit during our voyage to Australia.
There is a visitor centre at the altitude of the beach with details of all the world's penguins, there is a award mart also and rangers who can response answers about everything you ambitioned to understand about penguins and more.
As nightfall was approximating, we made our way down to the beach, as did everybody another. On the beach was a stone grandstand, preferably cold on the backward, so send a wrap or blanket to sit on.
Some people had even brought along a picnic, a kin day out. As it got darker, people became more subuded and talked less, reserving an eye out on the beach to see the arrival of thfirst and foremost penguin.
Suddenly there was manoeuvre at the brim of the surf and all heads turned for an. There, standing at the corner of the water was the smallest penguin we had ever seen. He saw left, then right, for if he was contemplating crossing a busy road and then he ran rapidly along to the dirt dunes and the penguin burrows.
He must have been the scout, for later him, there came teams of penguins, some consisted of 2 or three penguins, some had about ten or fifteen, but they all made namely same mad dash across the sand into the burrows, as if they couldn't get there hasty ample.
The audience of penguin watchers was silence, besides for the casual, "ooh" and "ahhs" from adults as well as babies. The groups began to diminish and eventually no more penguins emerged from the sea.
We sat on the grandstand as a while,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], not talking, just feeling reverenced at what we'd just seen. Neither of has had ever seen penguins in the brutal before, merely in zoos and it was one extraordinary consciousness.
You could look the penguins here each nightfall and morn, merely they weren't in cages alternatively in small pools, the sea was their playground and it is a sight we would definitely suggest to anybody.
There were two floodlights by the grandstand, which didn't seem to perturb the penguins, but you weren't granted to take flash photographs as it horrified them. Of lesson,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there were some folk who didn't hear to the ranger and they were told off and escorted off the beach, so do hear to what they say.
After the penguins had gone to their burrows, you could hike forward boardwalks and see them there. They make a lot of noise for all the size of them!
It wasn't obtainable when we were there, but now there is the discretion to have breakfast at sunrise, equitable before the penguins make their way behind to the sea. That's got to be value a look.
So if you are venturing down under, make a small detour to Phillip Island and Summerland Beach. You won't repent it.
