Our once a year pink island

Merri island, where the penguins live, turns pink for 4 weeks of the year. However this year it's not as bright as past years - possibly due to the storm we had last year.

@carolmw @carole_sandford @jgpittenger @rickster549 The pink is actually flowers - "pig face" as we call it.
@pyrrhula Sorry Ferry - you'll have to share the island with the little penguins that live there :)
