Penguin Island

5th May 2013

Had a trip to Penguin Island
Took us an hour to reach there by public transport. (Bus- train- bus)
Its not hard to reach tourist spot in WA when they have intelligent public transport + google maps

Very nice and cooling weather in the morning and sunny during noon.
Perfect weather for the Sunday getaway in the island

Direction and sign board can be found along the way


Arrive at Shoalwater which is the jetty get on ferry to penguin island



We purchased the ticket with the package of unlimited ferry, penguin feeding, sealion + glass bottom boat cruise @ $33 /pax

5 minutes ferry to reach the island


Cheesee~

Sadly, penguins are MIA
only seen seagulls all over the island

We came at the wrong timing when penguins are busying building their nest for breeding in June
In the month of February, visitors will have the chance to see wild penguin around the island

Been searching for the penguin nest when we're walking around the island
At last, we managed to spot 1 little penguin in his nest in the bushes 
=D

 Sea gulls again.

Sky and sea are always so blue in Aussieland

Kayak session available in the island

The package we bought includes sea lion watching.
BUT we're told that sea lion was away from the island on that day
He was in the island on the day before. 
And so we're compensated by dolphin watching.

*dolphin dancing and diving in the sea*



 The Pingu's cruise

And got cheated again on the package
It was written there 'penguin feeding' 
I thought I will have the chance to feed the penguin
However, we only get to see penguin to be feed by the staff
*big disappointment on that*






 Posing King

 They are intelligent enough to stand still for us to take photos

Posing King stood there for whole session
Wonder if he really likes to take photo or he is not hungry at all
