Penguin's Heritage Trail

Penguin is a small town in northwest Tasmania that is known for its rich history and mysterious attractions.

In addition to its beachfront cafes and boutique shops, Penguin offers visitors the chance to explore its heritage, art, and adventure. The town is also famous for its big penguin and smaller penguins that are dressed up for special occasions.

One of the most photographed icons in Tasmania is the big penguin located in Penguin. The town is also home to smaller penguins scattered throughout, all of which dress up for holidays and events. The Uniting Church and a Dutch windmill donated by descendants of Dutch immigrants are other notable sights in Penguin. The town's heritage cemetery and vantage point offer stunning views, especially at dawn and sunset. Visitors can also enjoy the commemorative garden with its Children of the World sculpture. The town's heritage walking trail and roadside gardens are popular attractions as well, each with its own unique story.

The Penguin's Heritage Trail is open year-round and is especially enjoyable during the town's festivals and events, such as Christmas and ANZAC festivals.

Penguin is located on the northwest coast of Tasmania and can be reached by car, bus, or taxi. Visitors arriving by plane can land in Hobart or Launceston and then rent a car, take a bus, or taxi to Penguin.
