Good to see so many friendly faces at the Pavillion Cafe with Greg Barber Greens MP and then later at the Middle Island Penguin Colony talk run by CoastCare and The Warrnambool City Council.
Greg came all the way to Warrnambool for the occasion. (The train was held up for two hours in Geelong! We really must do something about our public transport! ) Greg is generous with his time and always great value! He had a great day, apart from the delay, and said that the penguin project made a very pleasant change from city issues!
The penguins, which are guarded by Maremma dogs, live on Middle Island near the breakwater for a 6 month breeding season. Since the Maremmas have been guarding them against foxes and domestic dogs, the numbers have increased from around 10 to 190. Such a beautiful program!
