Went there in 2003 was amazing! So close to penguins :)

i have to hypothesis why. People leaving scraps of food behind and/or being near humans keeps them safe from predators.

Actually it's because there's a restriction on fishing in the waters around Boulders Bay so there's lots of food for the penguins to eat.

Went there in 1995 but we went to the side which has the colony, not the swimming beach. I think you're not allowed to get close nowadays but we went right up to the colony and got some pretty amazing photographs.

how come these people don't kill and eat them?

I've been there.

hah this place is awsome i went there once hah its pretty cool

[penguinistas]

perhaps the penguins don't mind the people because we would tend to scare away the predators that would eat them.
