Took a tour to Phillip Island to watch the penguins returning to shore after a day out in the sea hunting for food. Was kind of disappointed that I didn’t get to take any photos of the penguins at the island, but I could understand the rationale behind it and appreciated the efforts to protect the penguins. However all was not lost as I stepped into the Melbourne Aquarium, for they had a huge glass exhibit filled with penguins! The little (and some not so little) birds were popular with the young and the young at heart and it’s not hard to see why, for our feathered friends are really adorable!
