Rockingham Wild Encounters is seeking help from the general public, who visited Penguin Island in the 60's, 70's, 80's or even earlier, to provide images and information as part of a community project they have undertaken.

The heritage project will see large displays of the rich history of Penguin Island displayed on the island along with an interactive heritage event featuring stories as far back as the early 1920's when Penguin Island's limestone caves housed hermit Seaforth McKenzie.  More information is sought to uncover the missing history of Penguin Island after this time and Rockingham Wild Encounters are asking members of the public to come forward with their photos and information.  One lucky entrant has the opportunity to win unlimited travel to Penguin Island for an entire season and two tickets to the 2015 Penguin Island heritage event opening night (further details on this event to follow). 

“We would like the public to come forward and share their photos and stories with us and be a part of writing history, your history” said Rockingham Wild Encounters Director, Terry Howson. To enter simply visit penguisland.com.au and click the 'Help uncover Penguin Island's history' button.

Rockingham Wild Encounters encourages everyone to dig out old photos and memories of Penguin Island and be a part of writing history.
