We are The Friends of Lillico Penguins CARes Group (CARes is short for Conservation Area Reserve). The Lillico Beach Conservation Area is located 6 km west of Devonport alongside the Bass Highway. We assist the Parks and Wildlife Service to supervise the visitors to the Penguin viewing platform from September to May each year - the 'Penguin Season'.

Pre-season Working Bee
Volunteers were at it again this year, maintaining the artificial penguin nests, removing weeds and littering, planting natives,... All to ensure the penguins have a safe home to return to, inducive to breeding!
Here is our platform, looking good. This year the penguin fences along the Bass highway have also been repaired and are up to the task of keeping our creatures safe from the motorcars barelling alomg the tarmac.
