Penguins and petrol-heads seem an unlikely pairing to define the identity of a place, but it’s probably not the strangest combination for a regional Australian town. (Think dogs and tuckerboxes, for example, in Gundagai.) Occasionally, cultural buildings have drawn figuratively on such symbols to encapsulate parochial character.
