I personally did not know that Australia was home to penguins and have never seen one outside of captivity until I came across St Kilda Pier. The best time to see them in action is following sun-set when they make their way in from the water.

Enjoy all that St. Kilda’s amusement park has to offer from fairy floss to bone rattling rides. Even if you are not a ride enthusiast this is an interesting place to walk around and enjoy the historical park feel. Speaking with locals it seems that it has not changed a bit in generations!
