THE PARADE OF THE FAIRY PENGUINS at Phillip Island, 85 miles from Melbourne. The penguins spend the day fishing up to 30 miles from their rookery, returning soon after dusk. With the day’s catch in their crops, they plod up the beach to their burrows in the sand, undisturbed by the lighting above the path. The rookery area is wired off, and spectators of this popular tourist attraction are kept behind ropes.
