For Night Observation of Stanley's Fairy Penguins. You can't really see the penguins without one.

If you are intending to visit Stanley's free little penguin viewing experience, please remember that they are wild birds and being able to view them in their natrual habitat is very special. To get the most out of your penguin experience, we highly recommend  Please follow these important guidelines to keep the penguins safe so everyone can enjoy them:

• Penguins will generally start to leave the water at last light as this helps to protect them from predators. Settle yourself comfortably before last light. Remain quiet and keep movement to a minimum.
• Penguins have excellent vision and easily spot movement. They are very vulnerable and wary at this time. If they sense a threat or are disturbed by torchlight or loud noise they may not come in at all, which means their young will be left in the burrow, alone and unfed.
• Read and observe any information signs placed along the foreshore.
• Wear warm, dark clothing for camouflage.
• Join other groups of people already gathered for penguin viewing so that the birds only have to pass one group, this will cause less stress for the penguins.
• Approach your viewing position from the land, not by walking along the beach as this blocks the penguins’ access to their burrows. Use existing tracks.
• Choose a viewing position which is at least 3 metres from, and does not block, the penguins’ access to their burrows. If possible, choose a site which has a dark background to camouflage yourself.
• Do not use white light torches. Dim torches emitting a gentle red light may be used but never shine the torch toward the water or directly at the penguins.
• Do not use flash cameras. Do not use video cameras or mobile phones that emit light.
• Ensure that dogs and cats never accompany you if you visit a colony. They are a major threat to penguins.
• Penguins are protected wildlife. It is illegal to catch, attempt to catch, handle or otherwise harass penguins.

Note: Please note if the Red Light Torch is damaged during use, the cost to replace it will be charged to your credit card at $6.
