Enid at penguin statue, Penguin, Tasmania
We did get to see the little penguins last night. We drove to Burnie to the viewing platform just a bit after eight pm. The penguins showed up just as it got dark. We saw about four of them. They are pretty small, maybe 20 cm tall, and it was pretty dark, so I couldn’t get any video of them. We left just about nine pm, as it started to sprinkle rain.
Today we stopped in the pretty little town of Penguin. It was a beautiful day, clear, sunny and a very nice temperature in the mid twenties. We went to the market, but really there wasn’t anything there to buy, as it is mostly a flea market with lots of junk, but nothing very interesting. There was only one stall with any fruits or vegetables, and not much of a selection of those.
We are now in Devonport ready to go on the ferry to Melbourne tomorrow morning. We will be ready for boarding about 7 am, and should dock about 6 pm tomorrow night.
