Day 14 26.2.20 Yolla

Very different views this morning. It's cold, wet and windy as we pack up to move westwards. I managed to get a short walk in before it rained again.


We are searching for pickled onions and penguins today. As it was raining we skipped a couple of things and went straight to the onion factory. Today was the 1st day of production for the year.



After a delicious morning tea with cake for Yvonnes birthday the rain eased off and we continued on our merry way to find a penguin.

 The 3 sisters lookout ↕
 Finally we found a penguin in the town of Penguin! We saw lots of penguins but no living ones.

 The windmill was 1/3 of a normal dutch windmill.



 With more rain rolling in it was time to move on to the next place to hunt for penguins.
 Stopped at the minature railway as we left Penguin.

Penguin centre at Burnie. Still no living penguin to be seen.



 Walked along the esplanade.


 Visited the makers workshop where lots of things were made from paper.

 Boys and their toys.
 Next was the man made waterfall

 Wild blackberries for afternoon tea when we moved on to Doctors Rocks.
 Glen found us real penguins ❤🐧🐧

It was about 10° so on with the electric blanket and doona for an early night.
