After breakfast at our regular diner we got a rental car and tried to
negotiate our way out of Melbourne without using toll roads. Then enjoying 35
degree C sunshine, and a great tour at cruise speed. We were headed for Phillip
Island 140 km south of Melbourne. On route we passed several wineries.
At Phillip Island you can experience wildlife, nature, interactive
attractions, surfing, swimming, fishing and a lot more. We chose a 3 Park Pass
including: Churchill Island Heritage Farm, Koala Park and Penguin Parade.
At the Churchill Island Heritage Farm you can see how people lived and
worked in the olden days. As it turns out not so different from how life took
place in our part of the world.
Well, I guess that the Koala Park is self-explanatory.
The famous Fairy Penguins, the world’s smallest penguin, spend their day
out at sea, feeding and catching whitebait for their young. At the day’s end,
they waddle up the beach in small groups back to their sand dune burrows. Tonight
they did it by the hundreds. That was an exceptional experience.
Photographing was prohibited so the picture is downloaded from the Internet.
