Our quick dinner before going to the Penguin Tour

It's already 21:00 and we're waiting for the start of the Penguin Tour

We can watch & follow the penguin closely

We could not use flash to take any photo cos the flash is harmful to the eyes of the penguin

We checked out at Rosevears and then we continued to drive to Low Head. 

On the way, we've visited the Platypus World and we all have a lot of fun there.  First of all, we afraid that tour was so boring and just can see the platypus swimming in a big tank.  However, we were wrong!  Though it was call Platypus World, we can see Echidnas also!  The echidnas were so cute and walk around us to smell our foot.  We've never seen such animals in HK.

Afterward, we passed-by the Batman Bridge to Low Head. We stayed at the 2 bedrooms cottage in Low Head Tourist Park. At night at around 21:00, we've the Penguin Tour. The little penguin were so cute and it's so amazing to see the little penguin in such a close distance.
