I guess that a simple "NO SWIMMING" is not adequate.

Wherever, but no place in the USA. A few U.S. cities are on a second sign with a slew from other countries

An explanation for the penguin sign I posted on the previous page. The Town of Manly, upriver from Sydney, is home to the last mainland population of the smallest modern penguin species. Estimated remaining population = 35. And there is a remote chance one or more might come ashore here.
BTW: The pigeon is hoping to be mistaken for a penguin, to get some protection.
There's Little Penguins in Manly? That's amazing for them to survive in Sydney! There's still some Little Penguins on the mainland, although I suppose it depends on how you define "mainland". Most are on small islands just offshore and Tasmania. Possibly it's the last mainland colony in NSW. There's a colony in Victoria where Maremmas are used to protect the birds from predators.

I've not seen them in NSW. I have seen them at Philip Island and in Tasmania. This is in Stanley in Tasmania. We were able to find Little Penguins which had come ashore after dark, but only a couple. I believe that they are more easily seen in summer.

The sign along that walk with information about the little penguins was not brand new. Hard to saw when it was installed - a decade back?? - so there is a distinct possibility that the few penguins (about 35 according too the sign) are now gone.

Interesting how they sell fresh meats right next door to a place that sells clothing. Quite the contrast, eh?

Get some steaks or a roast, and a new pair of jeans.
