Julien: few days after my return from the island, we decided - with Deborah, David, Matt and Katie (2 Belgian friends, my fellow New Zealander and his girlfriend) - to get to Pengu in Island, located in Rockingham, a town about fifty kilometers south of Perth. As its name implies, the island battery eille a colony of "penguins" English word meaning "penguin" and no one "penguins" in French ... Plu s 600 pairs inhabit the island. These semi-nocturnal animals, one of the p MALL penguin species are usually holed up in their nest the day and go fishing in the sea at dusk. So tough to see those famous penguin day.
There are two big differences between penguins and penguins. Indeed, while penguins live in the northern hemisphere and can fly, penguins live only in the southern hemisphere and can not fly.
The island, declared a reserve, is very pretty. Just down the ferry, we saw a dolphin (Flipper) to a few meters from us. We are then left to tour the island, exploring the rocks in search of famous penguins and enjoyed the beautiful beaches. We ended see two little penguins and two other wild dolphins before going to the Discovery Center of the island. The center houses and treats injured penguins some end up staying in captivity. We have witnessed the feeding of these little penguins ... very cute!
Between the beach, walking and swimming, the day passed quickly. We ended the day at Rockingham for a drink ... The next day would be much more watered! And then, Olwen and Mika, our friends from New Caledonia was going to land for a week.
