🐧 Penguin Community Unites for a Great Community Experience! 🐧

What makes Penguin such a special place? Its people, its stories, and the incredible collaboration between local industries!

Tonight, Meg from WxNW, Louise from the Penguin Visitor Information Centre, and Dave & Gena from the Great Community Experience (GCE) program and a number of community business owners came together to discuss how our town can showcase everything we have to offer. A big part of the conversation was the Penguin 150th celebrations happening throughout 2025—a milestone that will bring our community together like never before!

By working as one, we can create an unforgettable experience for locals and visitors alike, celebrating our history, businesses, and the people who make Penguin thrive. 🌊🏡✨

Our big Penguin 🐧 😀

A 600kg concrete penguin that has stood proudly on Tasmania's north-west coast for nearly half a century has been granted heritage status.

The Big Penguin, which stands approximately three metres tall, was built in just one week in 1975 to mark the town of Penguin's 100th birthday.

The determination by the Tasmanian Heritage Council makes the Big Penguin the first of Tasmania's 12 known 'big things' to receive heritage status.

Other 'big things' include the Big Spud in Sassafras, the Big Platypus in Latrobe and the Big Axe in Longley.
