From the Southwest to the North...we headed to Burnie for our last night in Tasmania. We had a wonderful cottage to stay in that was full of antiques. We had lunch at a distillery and dinner on the beach.
At dusk we headed to a penguin observation center. When it started to get dark, the penguins waddled ashore and barked like a small dog. The baby penguins were waiting for mom and dad and they were hungry. These are "Fairy Penguins"who are the smallest of all penguins. They are found along the Southern Australian coastline. You have to "wait for them" because they only return to their burrows about one hour before dark, It was exciting waiting for them to appear and watching the little ones anticipate "dinner time".
