Observation deck to view Penguins is open September to May and December to February.
With Tasmania's proximity to Antarctica, it is no surprise the island state is a popular posting for penguins. But the only species to breed on Tasmania is the world's smallest penguin, the eudyptula minor.
Known as the little or fairy penguin, an estimated 110,000 to 190,000 of them are thought to call Tasmania and its islands home. Little penguins are sedentary; in fact, they build a burrow and return to the same spot night after night after spending the day in the ocean feeding.
This makes little penguins perfect for bird watching, but they are shy and timid birds mostly, so you need to be careful to not upset them.
Geocaching Etiquette
Please don't use geocaching abbreviation-only and "lingo"-only logs. After writing a meaningful sentence or two, you could end your log with one of the common acronyms but don't make it the only thing in your log. Geocache owners love reading about your experience, it makes it worth while placing caches to be found.
If you do not sign the logbook, your Find log will be deleted.
There is no need to enter the conservation area to find this cache as its located right on the edge of the area.
The container is big enough for swaps or to leave trackables in.
