Beautiful limestone buildings down Harbour street showcase the great Victorian architecture. Lots of really interesting shops. Don't miss out on the Victorian Fete in November either. A weekend of fun with penny farthing races and steam train rides.

Yellow Eyed Penguins
Come see the Yellow Eyed Penguins out at Bushy Beach. These especially rare penguins can come back to shore after 3:00 pm until dark. Best to have some binoculars or a good zoom lens for the greatest experience. Beach access is closed at 3:00 pm, and you can see them from upper viewing decks.
