City Description:
Phillip Island, a popular day trip from Melbourne, lies just off Australia’s southern coast. At Summerland Beach, spectators gather daily at sunset to watch the Penguin Parade, when Little penguins come ashore in groups. The Nobbies outcrop is the viewing site for Seal Rocks, home to a large colony of Australian fur seals. The Phillip Island Circuit is a well-known track for motorcycle and car racing. Cowes, the island’s main town and accommodation hub, has sheltered north coast beaches. Nearby, the Koala Conservation Centre is a sanctuary for free-roaming koalas and wallabies, with an elevated boardwalk and treetop observation points. To the east, Rhyll Inlet is a wetlands reserve with wading birds and boardwalks running through mangroves. A short bridge leads to Churchill Island, a 19th-century farming settlement with traditional gardens. Jutting into the open ocean, rugged Cape Woolamai is home to a colony of short-tailed shearwaters. Attached to the cape, Woolamai Beach is part of the Phillip Island National Surfing Reserve.
