WHERE WE WORK:

Situated on the Eastern end of Godfreys Beach in Stanley, the raised viewing platform is designed to protect Penguin nesting habitat while providing visitors with an amazing viewing experience. Godfreys beach is a 1.1 km curving beach next to the iconic ‘Nut’. The best time to arrive is just before sunset where a volunteer guide will give a Penguin talk, if quiet and still on the platform, the Penguins will emerge from the water when they feel safe to do so. There are permanent red lights around the viewing platforms/boardwalk to view the Little Penguins so there is no need for torches and do not use flash photography as this may damage the Little Penguins eyesight.

WHAT WE DO:

Working within a roster, volunteers wearing hi-vis vests with a Wildcare/PWS badge will be at the platform every evening during the Little Penguins Spring/Summer breeding season to provide information, interpret the wildlife and answer any questions that visitors may have. Best Penguin viewing times are from September through to March.
