Penguin Island is a tiny little island about an hour south of Perth near Rockingham. It's protected from predators so it's a bird nesting paradise and easily accessible by a 5-minute ferry ride. The kids and I first visited Penguin Island in 2009...
...so Ben is a little big bigger this time around!
Most of the little blue penguins are out at sea fishing during the day, but the ones living in the rehab center get fed several times a day.
Alex is still obsessed with penguins and was so excited to get up close with these cute little guys.
After watching them enjoy their lunch, we wandered around the rest of the beautiful little island.
There are birds nesting almost everywhere! Seagulls, terns, pelicans, and of course penguins.
The beaches were beautiful as well.
Again, we had a perfect day with a cool breeze and warm sunshine to enjoy the sights.
We had a lovely picnic there before catching the ferry back to our car and continuing on to Margaret River.
Someone else was a little smaller on this beach 10 years ago! That was the day I learned to keep spare clothes and towels in the car every day because no matter the weather, someone may decide to go for a swim.
