We had a great day hosting Catherine and Inger fro We had a great day hosting Catherine and Inger from the West Coast  Penguin Trust for lunch. We invite guests to give a donation to the Penguin Trust if they enjoyed their nature tour to the beach in Radar. We raised $206 last season, which we matched to donate $412 to help look after our West Coast Little Blue Penguins, Kororā.
