Did you know

• In real life, Alan 'Swampy' Marsh's wife wasn't deceased. He accomplished what he did with his nine year old daughter, not grand-daughter.

• Middle Island off the coast of Warrnambool in Victoria, Australia is home to a colony of little penguins. This is where the penguins live in the movie. In real life though, it is no longer accessible to the general public due to conservation requirements.

• The original "Oddball" was only on the island for three weeks. His successors were to be replaced in 2018 after seven years on duty.
