So Phillip Island is beautiful!It really was beautiful, but not quite what I expected. I expected it to feel a lot more islandy. So not so populated, not like a continuation of the mainland.
It was also raining! Which made the southern end of incredibly wild and majestic. So we went walking looking for wildlife, and finding very little disappointingly. I was hoping for penguins. Phillip Island has a fairy penguin colony. Instead we paid to see the penguin parade in the evening, in the cold, wet.
The little fairy pingus were incredible, but we weren't allowed to take pictures 'coz they're sensitive to flashes. But they were cute anyway. we saw about 37 of them come up out of the sea, and we got entry into the koala sanctuary with our tickets, where we went the next day =)
The koala sanctuary was quite brilliant. A natural environment that almost makes you feel like they're in the wild, almost. The broadwalk through the sanctuary were brilliant. Tree top height, close enough to touch the koalas.
Incredible.
And after wandering around Cowes and Rhyll and the rest of the island, and buying some travel companions for my Tig, we were off.
