Penguin Foreshore

Reviewed By Crystalline4u - Traralgon, Australia

Penguin is just an incredibly beautiful seaside town... it feels inviting as you walk along the foreshore. There is seating carefully placed for all ages ... so if you need to sit under a tree, they have arranged for that... or on the edge of the water... or would you like to recline. They have been very diverse in their approach to making the area inviting for visitors. Of course as you get out of the car, there is the eye catching Tardis along the foreshore. Never heard of the Tardis? Seriously is that possible... didn't everyone have to watch Dr Who as a child and see the villainous Daleks? They gave me nightmares... no really! They absolutely terrified me. However the Tardis being small on the outside and magically big inside appealed to my imagination. But moving on... focus! Stay with me here... the foreshore area overlooks a pristine beach and it has cafes directly opposite. It's a great place to spend some time.

Giant Penguin

Reviewed By dorothyd298 - Penguin, Australia

Penguin is a beautiful town with their Main Street right on Bass Strait. It is situated between Ulverstone and Burnie and well worth the detour to view our magnificent icons - the big Penguin - have your photo taken with him on the foreshore next door to the playground, the Uniting and Anglican churches, both beautifully restored and Hiscutt Park with our Windmill. The Railway Station is also an icon and finish off with a lovely morning tea, lunch or dinner at one of our many eating places. You won’t regret your visit!

Penguin's Mosaic & Word Jumble Community Artwork

Penguin's mosaic & word jumble community artwork installed July 2020. The project started with a small bequest from a man who had suffered mental health challenges. His dream was to show that we all count, we all contribute to community and so best not to judge.
