Wow, the string's white already, it must be snowing! ;)
Those penguins are the same as the ones that show up sometimes around Nelson, where I grew up! They aren't super common there but there's often some sick ones that get taken to the children's zoo my mother works at to get cared for and then freed.
There's a big colony of them on Taiaroa Head near Dunedin though, and you can view them there, but I have no idea if it's year round or just in certain seasons? There's an albatross colony there as well, but I only saw... two albatrosses fly past, one each for the two times I went there. There's usually seals on the beach and sometimes sea lions though, as well as colonies of other seabirds and things, so it can be quite interesting.

I saw one in the wild in Tasmania!! It was crossing the road, it was adorable.
That sounds so interesting, I have to see if it's a specific time of the year or if I have a chance to see them when I am there :)

The pigs are well known in Adelaide, they're even on all the postcards and stuff :)
