See penguins from St. Kilda?

I read that there is a colony of penguins that you can see from the shore in St. Kilda. Can any Aussies from Melbourne confirm that?

Quick Google search gives these pages as confirmation:-

I lived on Beaconsfield Parade for many years and have spent a lot of time at St Kilda beach. I do believe you can see the penguins if you go out by boat but typically, I didn't do the 'tourist type' things in my area when I lived there. I can however confirm that you can see the most enormous water rats by the pier especially on warm nights:eek: . My dogs used to chase them! Not quite as cute as the penguins though!!

I appreciate your replies and the web sites.

I am pretty sure if you walk along St. Kilda Pier you will see the penguins. Globilisers link is the correct one. It is a hidden secret down here that we have penguins so close to the city.
