The penguins’ home at the sanctuary was temporarily redesigned with an Australia Day theme.

”Australia Day is obviously a big deal and we felt like the little penguins, which are native to Australia, would be the perfect ones to have a celebration,” senior aquarist Robbie McCracken said.

The venue will be open on Australia Day from 9.30am-5pm.
