Phillip Island 12/12



Just how cute can you get ?

We made a two day stop at Phillip Island which is famous for its wildlife. We made a visit to the Koala Conservation Centre and managed to get up close to the Koalas from the boardwalks.



Koalas sleep for about 20 hours a day but we were fortunate enough to see a baby awake and moving around.



Phillip Island was the worst place so far that we have encountered flies. We constantly had to use the aussie wave.



Phillip Island has lots of places named after British seaside resorts like Cowes, Rhyll, Ventnor, and Newhaven. This is Cowes.



As well as the indigenous animals there are more familiar wildlife around.
