IN PARTNERSHIP WITH DESTINATION PHILLIP ISLAND AND PHILLIP ISLAND NATURE PARKS

REASONS TO VISIT PHILLIP ISLAND

Just a two-hour drive from Melbourne, Phillip Island is paradise for nature lovers. Here are five great things for families to do when they visit

1. PENGUIN PARADE

Phillip Island is home to the largest Little Penguin colony in the world. Each night, you can watch these amazing seabirds waddle home, from the ocean to their burrows, from specially built viewing platforms and boardwalks on Summerland Beach. It’s an experience you will never forget!

2. KOALA CONSERVATION RESERVE

See koalas up close in their natural habitat at the Koala Conservation Reserve. There are two treetop boardwalks, which both take around 20 minutes — the 800m-long tree top Koala Boardwalk loop and 600m-long tree top Woodland Boardwalk loop. While you explore, also look out for wallabies, echidnas and various birdlife and learn about the lives of koalas with the interactive displays in the visitor centre. 78
