I remember seeing a penguin wash up on the shores of Buzios, Brazil. It looked injured, and I believe a local called animal rescue.

The Kingscote Centre closed less than a year after we visited, and it seems like Penneshaw's centre is not an assured sighting either. I want to see the Penguin Parade on Philip Island, but we didn't get to that part of Australia while we were there.

We were there in March. As I understand it there are either no more penguins on the island or almost none. They population has been decimated by the New Zealand fur seals (native to Australia), which are their natural predators. I'm fairly sure that both the penguin centres you mention have now closed. If you want to see penguins in Australia by far the best place to see them is Phillip Island or if you are prepared to really go out of your way, King Island.
