Penguins the latest southerners to move north - AustraliaWide - ABC

After the death of 25 penguins from an unknown toxin last year Seaworld, on the Gold Coast, has opened the largest fairy penguin exhibit in Australia. Eleven birds are already in residence and more will arrive in the coming weeks. The enclosure can house up to 60 birds. It's hoped they will begin breeding in the next few months.

The brief shots of the enclosure in the video make it seem modern and of a decent size. Has anyone been to Seaworld lately?
