Explore Penguin Tasmania – free self-guided audio App walking tour
For a seaside town of fewer than 4000 residents, we have much to offer. Our beautifully rejuvenated foreshore invites you to walk/bike from the eastern boundary along the foreshore through Preservation Bay & Sulphur Creek to the Bass Highway where our sentinel psychedelic penguin, named Pablo, greets/farewells you.
The App showcases 28 of our CBD attractions, covering a distance of just 3 km, past artwork, heritage and natural attractions.
So much to see and enjoy. Welcome
