Geocache Description:

The Little Penguin Observation Centre was constructed at Parsonage Point on the western end of West Beach, but not before hundreds of penguin igloo apartments were hand made and cleverly located by local volunteers. Their latest project involves rebuilding native sea bird habitat further west.


Around dusk, from September to March, little penguins noisily waddle ashore to nest in their burrows, and every evening during the season Friends of Burnie Penguins offer free interpretative tours for visitors.

It may not have seemed possible once, but Burnie has cleaned up its act when it comes to our burrowing neighbours, with the help of a clear vision and thousands of volunteer hours.

The Little Penguin Observation Centre is located on the western end of West Beach linked to the city via a beach boardwalk.

 

The container is not situated near the penguin houses and please be mindful of our little friends when searching for this cache. Has paper and pencil and a few swaps.
