Explored by Bass and Flinders and settled in 1861, Penguin sits on the north-west coast overlooking Bass Strait. The town is characterised by sleepy weekdays that turn into bustling weekends, a scenic esplanade, its friendly community and charming seaside cafes. The town's population of nearly 3,000 rejoices in all things 'penguin' - from the penguin-shaped rubbish bins to the largest penguin in the world, which has made the esplanade its home. The 3.15-metre (10-foot) cement and fibreglass bird was erected in 1975 to commemorate the centenary of the town. Every Sunday the Penguin Market draws hundreds of visitors from along the coast and around the state. With more than 200 modern stalls - ranging from fine food and wine to woodcraft and live music - Tasmania's largest undercover market caters for the whole family. Discover Tasmania |
