I was there only a couple of weeks ago (went through Hong Kong on the way home too, I wonder has cfdh been following me?) and saw a couple under the rocks. The penguins out at Phillip Island were brilliant.

Yeah I did it there were a few of them around, was very impressed by Melbourne as a whole, would def recommend anyone going to Australia to go there.
Is the second one Perth?
correct it was Perth!
All the kudos in the world :)

An interesting fact I learned about Glenveagh recently; the loch runs from south-west to north-east along the Owencarrow rift, formed in the Paleozoic age (520 million years ago), which eventually links to the coast at Fanad and onward under the sea to the great Scottish Rift Valley that divides Scotland in two through to Loch Ness. If you look at a map, you'll see what I mean.
Great thread, by the way. Only seeing it now. Some lovely photography. I might add a few more, if y'all don't mind...

Great pictures from up around home thanks!
I had heard before that the small earth tremors sometimes reported in Inishowen and less often around Fanad are down to a fault line that runs up through Scotland. I wonder is it the same thing you are mentioning?
