More info: The little penguin colony is located at Parsonage Point on West Beach in Burnie - Tasmania's fourth largest city. Little penguins, the smallest of all penguins, are found in colonies along the southern edge of Australia and Tasmania.

The breeding season starts in August and continues to February. Between June and August, the male penguin returns to the colony to either renovate old burrows or dig new ones. Both male and female little penguins incubate the eggs, usually in shifts of 1 to 2 days, whilst the other bird returns to sea to feed.
