After driving back up from Bunbury, we took the 1pm ferry to Penguin Island, which is only 800m from the coast at Rockingham (some people walk the sand bank, but it is dangerous, and the water comes pretty high).
There we walked around (it’s not big, and you can’t get everywhere, it’s a bird protection area), Pascal snorkelled, and Ans found nice shells!
At 2.30pm we watched the penguin feeding and learned about them (these ones are kept in captivity for various reasons, the wild ones only come out at night).
We did see a lot of seagulls (with young), pelicans and lizards though.
There are also seals on the island, but we didn’t see one (10 years ago, when I was on summer camp at Point Perron, we did).
At about 4pm we drove home, taking the ‘industrial route’ past the grain silos, alumina refineries, etc.
