I guess the nearest place to go from Singapore to see these flightless birds is Melbourne. Hence, I made my pilgrimage to the Penguin Parade in Phillip Island during one of my trips to Australia.Despite the additional "blanket", the weather @ 2°C was no joke. Sitting by the beach, the cold wind tested my endurance. The beach was almost silent as everyone was on the look-out for the Fairy Penguins appearing anytime. My patience was soon rewarded when I finally heard noisy Penguins squabbling & making their way up the shore. Read more...

Man, you shoulda checked before going. If you go to the Nobbies, there are usually quite a few penguins under the boardwalk.
