Publisher's Synopsis
Camping with the Penguins is a true story of camping on a small island off the southern tip of Australia, Philip Island.
We set up tent and were in our sleeping bags when we heard a strange sound coming towards us. My husband, John, got out his flash light, unzippered the tent flap and we were astonished to see dozens of little animals coming towards us: they were Fairy Penguins. They were not a bit afraid. Instead of going round the tent, they waddled straight through, over us and under the canvas on the far side.
In the morning as dawn was breaking the penguins returned, scrambling all over us. They were on their way to the ocean in search of food.
We could have set our tent somewhere else but we all loved the penguins so we stayed and gave the penguins the right of way.
