The general admission that allows seeing penguin from a not-too-near distance cost AUD20 per adult. Of course, you could pay more to sit nearer to the penguins. For your information, the general admission seats are really not-too-near. The wind at seaside made me felt colder, not to say when temperature went lower after sunset. I guess it was about 2/3°C. I wore 4 layers of clothes in total for my upper waist.

Penguin’s house.

Waiting to see penguins. The sky was actually quite dark, it’s the camera setting that makes the photo look bright.
Around 7pm, the sky had totally gone dark. Penguins started to turn up in groups at the shore. For me, it was like a sudden “pop” and the penguins appeared. They line up at the shore waiting for the rest of the group members. Sometimes the waiting could take a little while as the wave kept bringing their group members back into ocean. Sometimes the queue had formed but when one of the members fall back into the ocean, the whole group would jump back into the sea and start landing again.
When all the members had successfully landed, the queue would start to march towards the bushes. They actually march for the first 10 meters, the remaining 10 meters they were like “RUN!”. After we watched two or three batches penguins at the seaside, we started walking back along the wood walkway and watched the penguins marching home in the bushes with their slightly-opened arms and butt swinging left and right.
Photo taking is prohibited. I secretly took a video clip but ended up the guard noticed and “advised” me to turn my camera off. I guess they really observe each and every visitor.

In the souvenir shop. I don’t have the habit to buy things from souvenir shops.

Rainy would wonder why her cap became bigger size.
We left Penguin Parade at around 8.30pm. After we had our dinner at a local restaurant (steak, chicken chop, pasta), we stay in the apartment to watch DVD. The guys started to flip through fishing guides and telling their fishing story. Tomorrow, Wednesday, we would go fishing at Lake Entrance. (Yes, we went Australia for fishing. Don’t laugh at me, as I somehow fished some whole-new experiences, so stay tuned for the story).
