For Penguin Awareness Day, we’re putting a spotlight on Melbourne’s own Little Penguin colony 🐧 In the 1950s, a breakwater was constructed at St Kilda Pier for the 1956 Olympics, providing a safe harbour for the sailing events. Not long after, Little Penguins spontaneously began to settle in the area, with the first evidence of their presence recorded in the 1970s.The breakwater’s volcanic rocks inadvertently created safe burrows for the penguins to breed, while their thermogenic properties kep

Check out this rakali diving for food right next to the boardwalk at St Kilda. Rakali are native water rats with webbed feet and long tails to help them swim. They feed mainly on small crustaceans and molluscs that they find on the sea floor. If you find a pile of shells on the breakwater it's because these guys eat their tasty meals on the rocks and leave behind the rest. | St Kilda penguins

Melbourne's St Kilda Penguins has finally reopened to the public after four years, but free tickets are fully booked until 1 April 2026. Locals and tourists have criticised the new online booking system, which lets visitors reserve spots to see the penguins from a dedicated viewing platform up to six months in advance but doesn't allow online cancellations. Operator Phillip Island Nature Parks, which also runs the Phillip Island Penguin Parade, said would-be visitors should "keep an eye" on the
