Having grown up in Victoria, we would go to Philip Island and often see the Penguins as they came in at dusk from their day out swimming in the cold seas to the very south of Australia!! It is a sight,or should I say,a spectacle well worth witnessing.I have never forgotten the sense of absolute delight I experienced whenever I witnessed these amazing birds which while so graceful in the sea, are so comical on land!! I can watch documentaries about these birds over and over, with so much more appreciation having seen them in real life,and I actually get a great deal more joy from having done so!
I've only seen them at the Aquarium in Melbourne, apart from the zoos.I had told my husband I'd take him to Antartica for his 60th birthday. We still haven't gone of cause, & he;'s now 71!
