Fairy Penguins

One of the advantages of staying at Inglenook is that directly across on the beach fairy penguins have their own rookery. They can be seen most nights around dusk during the raising of their chicks, departing again at dawn.

Adult birds often use this Rookery which is placed amongst a 750 million year old rock formation of precambrian pillow lava.

The best time for viewing is from October through to April although they can be seen at various times throughout the year.

Fairy penguins can be seen in a number of places around Tasmania (including right here at Inglenook!) although the majority live on offshore islands.
