DETAILS

Where else would you find a giant monument penguin, other than in Penguin, Tasmania? That’s right, in a small town called Penguin, in Tassie’s northwest, there’s a three-metre tall black and white penguin – that's one big little penguin.

This Big Penguin, made from fibre glass and concrete, stands proudly on the shore of Penguin Beach and attracts flocks of visitors eager to pose with the handsome bird. With a keen eye for fashion, The Big Penguin has been known to don appropriate outfits, be it a Santa suit at Christmas, bunny outfit at Easter, or a pink number to raise awareness for breast cancer.

Built to celebrate 100 years since the proclamation of the Penguin township, The Big Penguin landed on its perch in 1975. Since then, it's seen hundreds of Little Penguins come to shore each night from the nearby rookery offshore.

So, while little penguins may argue that good things come in small packages, they might just consider The Big Penguin to be the exception to the rule.
