Cette photographie montrant la "Uniting Church" permet de se rendre compte de la très belle luminosité que la Tasmanie peut offrir.

Penguin est une ville située sur la côte Nord-Ouest de la Tasmanie - Australie. Cette ville a été créée en 1861 grâce au développement de l'exploitation forestière. Quelques années plus tard, elle est devenu un port d’accès facile pour le transport du bois vers l'état du Victoria.

Au recensement de 2016 la ville de Penguin était la 13ème ville de la Tasmanie avec 3030 habitants. Entre 2011 et 2016 elle a perdu près de 900 résidents.

--------------------------------------------

Penguin is a town on the north-west coast of Tasmania, Australia. It is in the Central Coast Council local government area and on the Bass Highway, between Burnie and Ulverstone. At the 2016 census, Penguin had a population of 3,030.

Penguin was first settled in 1861 as a timber town, and proclaimed on 25 October 1875. The area's dense bushland and easy access to the sea led to Penguin becoming a significant port town, with large quantities of timber shipped across Bass Strait to Victoria, where the 1850s gold rushes were taking place. The town was named by the botanist Ronald Campbell Gunn for the little penguin rookeries that are common along the less populated areas of the coast.

The Uniting Church holds a prominent position in the main street, on the beach front. The beautiful old wooden federation style building with unique "key-hole" stain glass windows provides a focal point for the community and many tourists. The worshipping congregation has a mission to be open to God and His love in Jesus Christ and to be open and welcoming to the community. Holiday makers find a warm and friendly home away from home. The church serves through its many ministries to the local schools, craft groups, social activities, ministry to the local age care home, social and justice concerns and overseas missions (to name a few).
