Watch the Penguin Parade

{0 Comments}

About 32,000 breeding adults live around Phillip Island, spending most of their time at sea before returning to the same nesting beach burrows at sunset. A highly polished conservation effort ensures that up to 3800 people can show up each night to watch this parade, gathered in stadium-like seating or more exclusive areas, including an underground viewing platform to see little (aka fairy) penguins at eye-level.

Enjoy a day on the island exploring some of the other worthwhile attractions, including the Koala Conservation Centre, the Churchill Island Heritage Farm, and the excellent Nobbies Centre with its stunning coastal boardwalk.
