Penguin Parade

I know there aren’t any pictures, but we couldn’t take any because the infrared light huts the penguins. They were probably the more adorable things I have ever seen. The penguins off the shores of Melbourne are the “little penguins” and only grow to be one foot tall. They would swim up to shore and get about a foot onto land, then swept back up by the water or dive back into the waves. They would keep doing this until they felt their group was big enough to come onto shore. You could hear their chicks calling and the penguins would waddle up on shore. It was one of the best experiences so far. I LOVED IT!

Also, we were leaving the penguin parade and I saw a penny machine. This was interesting because they don't have pennies here. So you may wonder, how did you get a smashed penny without pennies...well they just give you a "penny" shape without anything on it & you get a smashed "penny" I had to do it because of the randomness of it.

We (well mostly me) got in trouble for feeding the seagulls. A lady who could not have been much older than me came over and says “Please stop feeding the seagulls…(long pause)…because they may soil on other people” Cortney is already laughing and I was kind enough to say “ok” before she walked away. Then after most people had left a guy over to our left pours out half his popcorn but our friend had already left so he didn’t get in trouble.

Before we arrived at the penguin parade we went to a small “zoo” type place for lunch. We got to feed the kangaroos and see more koalas. There was an albino kangaroo! I know, it was crazy. There was a koala with her baby who was adorable!
