Tasmania, an island state in Australia
Bruny Island is accessed by ferry from Kensington, Tasmania. We made a side trip there to see the Little Pengiun, also called Fairy Penguins or Blue Penguins. Deb had seen them in NZ at Dunefin where they came out of the sea and walked up the beach to their burrows. That was not the case in Bruny. We waited a couple of hours in the dark and could hear some penguins but didn't see any on the beach. We did find several at the entrance to their burrows. This is the view of the boardwalk next to where the burrows are. Called The Neck, the sea is on one side and bay on the other.
