Dear Friends
The people at Virtual Cube Marketing Group have given the site their "Virtual Cube Marketing Group Site Silver Award"
Thanks to Grant Maizels for going to Penguin Island. You may remember the on the last expedition we were unable to go out to the island because of the weather. Grant undeterred by the conditions that made it impossible to land on the easier approach on the outer side of the island clambered from the boat across the ruins of the old jetty on the rocky inner side of the island. Then waded waist deep over the rocks and up the cliff face to the lighthouse. Again my thanks go to him and also to Frank Corigliano of Beachport for making his boat and his skilled services to reach the island. The Penguin Island page is now up.
Grant has also produced his own Penguin Island page along with 6 other new ones (listed below) for South Australia
