Day 15 - Penguin Island

Our plan for today was to visit Phillip Island. The island is famous for the penguin parade and the wildlife as well for the Moto GP racing circuit.
Our two stops on the island covered these highlights.
Before we drove to the island we bought some food for the lunch at the supermarket. We choose some pastasalad and some bread but it was not a good decision, so we didn't ate alot of it.
Swan Lake was our first major stop on the island. We can highly recommend to stop at the lake and to do the boardwalk. We saw alot of wild animals, dozens of kangaroos, wallabies, rabbits, birds and so on.









At the evening we head up for the penguine parade, we arrived there at about 7:30pm and the scheduled time for the arrival of the penguins was 8:52pm.
The penguins emerge from the sea after sunset and waddle up the beach to their nesting areas.
It was cold and it was a long time to wait, but it was worth to see the little penguins waddling out from the water.
Our day ended with the drive back to the mainland where we stayed for overnight at a parking area.
