Penguin is named after the fairy penguin rookeries nearby and celebrates its name with a giant penguin statue, and even penguin rubbish bins. It is situated on three bays which provide safe beaches for swimming and picnics. Part of the town’s vista is the Dial Range and there are many trails through this area for bushwalking and trail riding. Penguin is at the centre of a prime vegetable growing area and on the second and fourth Sunday of the month, it hosts the Old Schoolhouse Markets – 150 stalls loaded with local produce, home cooking, flowers and cottage crafts.
