After years of dog attacks, the little penguin colony at Low Head on Tasmania's northern coast is rebuilding — and it is in part thanks to a community project.
Nest boxes were installed in the area in 1995 but on a smaller scale, and most had since fallen apart, providing little protection for the penguins.
Each box has a GPS tracker so children know exactly where their box is and most have personal messages inside.

Albanese ‘hit the nail on the head’: PM strikes back at KeatingPrime Minister Anthony Albanese “hit the nail on the head” when he hit back at Paul Keating’s criticism of AUKUS in a 3AW radio interview, says columnist for The Australian Chris Mitchell. “I think when Albanese said we needed a strategy for 2023 rather than a strategy from the 1990s, he hit the nail on the head,” Mr Mitchell told Sky News host Peta Credin. “That seems to be a lot of Paul’s case yesterday which was based on this strawman idea that the Chinese are going to invade Australia. “Look, I don’t think any discussion of AUKUS has ever talked about that. “I think we’re not getting these submarines for China, as Paul was seeming to indicate, and I thought much of his discussion yesterday should’ve been pulled up by more people and challenged more than it was.”
