en route to Philip island , my tour stopped at cowes which is a town close to Philip island to visit the cute little penguins. the town is very beautiful in fact and it’s filled with colorful shop houses that sell many variety of things such as food , restaurant bars and necessities as well as ice cream gelato. very interesting place to be at. and you can stop over here for a short break or meal such as dinner before going to visit the Philip island penguins. there is also a grocery stop so it’s very easy and convenient for the people here. the jetty is also very pretty but do note that it’s quite windy. so buckle up!

#celebratewithtrip
during my trip to Philip island to see the cute little penguins , my tour actually dropped by cowes for us to just chill awhile and explore this town.
cowes is actually the largest town in Philip island. there are quite a variety of stores available here for shopping and visiting and purchasing some essentials. there is also restaurants and ice cream which is perfect for the summer weather.
overall the town looks nice and peaceful. a great stop to refresh. there’s also a jetty nearby. you can also stop by here for dinner before heading to Philip island to see the penguins if you have some time to spare.

Chocolate Factory
Good place to visit for family and kids. The factory is small. Entry to the cafe is free and for the tour it's $18 per person. What you get is a token with a QR code (10 credit points) and a chocolate bar. You can use the token to play games that are towards the end of the tour and earn wooden balls.

A Day of Adventure: Puffing Billy & Phillip Island
Spent an incredible day exploring Victoria’s gems!
Started with a nostalgic ride on the Puffing Billy Railway, chugging through the lush Dandenong Ranges with my legs hanging out—such a fun and unique experience. The views were stunning, and the crisp mountain air made it even better.
Then, off to Phillip Island, where I got up close with wildlife and took in breathtaking coastal scenery. The highlight? Watching the Penguin Parade at sunset—seeing the little penguins waddle back to their burrows was absolutely adorable!
A perfect mix of nature, history, and wildlife. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Melbourne!

Melbourne's The Nobbies and Churchill Island are must-sees
The Nobbies wooden boardwalk is very close to the rocks by the sea, and there are countless seagulls flying by, even very close. You can also go to the glass cafe to eat and check in while enjoying the sea view!

A lot of mind relaxing enjoy at Melbourne Philip island ❤️
#australiatravel
Just looking at the photos is very healing.
I live by recalling old photos every day.
It seems that only Ocean Road is comparable to this scene.
The computer wallpaper was also taken by me to catch the kangaroo in the last picture, which is so cute.

Phillip Island 🗺️
#australiatravel
Phillip Island in Victoria, Australia, was an unforgettable escape filled with stunning coastal views, unique wildlife, and relaxing vibes. Located about 90 minutes from Melbourne, it’s a perfect day trip or weekend getaway. The entrance fee to the Penguin Parade was AUD $27, and it was worth every cent to watch these adorable little penguins waddle home at sunset! 🐧🌅
I started the day exploring the Nobbies Centre, where I enjoyed breathtaking ocean views and saw seals lounging on the rocks through the telescopes. 🦭 Then I headed to Churchill Island Heritage Farm, a charming spot showcasing Victoria’s farming history, complete with sheep-shearing and cow-milking demonstrations.
The beaches on the island are stunning too—Cape Woolamai is a must for its dramatic cliffs and golden sands, perfect for hiking or just soaking in the views. 🏖️ Phillip Island is also home to delicious local food; I highly recommend trying fresh seafood at San Remo.
If you love nature and wildlife, Phillip Island is a dream come true! Don’t forget your binoculars and camera. 📸

Phillip Island, located just off the coast
#australiatrip of Victoria, is a family-friendly destination known for its stunning landscapes and unique wildlife experiences. The highlight is the Penguin Parade, where little penguins return to shore at sunset, delighting visitors of all ages. The island also offers opportunities to see koalas at the Koala Conservation Reserve and seals at Seal Rocks. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the beaches, hiking trails, and water sports. The Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit attracts motor racing fans, while local cafés and wineries offer a taste of the region. It’s a perfect blend of adventure, nature, and relaxation.
Penguin Parade is a great place to view the penguins backing their home. The guide there is nice but unfortunately no photograph is allowed.

The only restaurant in the Penguin Parade Center
Address: 1019 Ventnor Rd, Summerlands VIC 3922 Australia
Atmosphere/Facilities: The only food court restaurant inside the Penguin Parade. The menu is varied enough if you don't expect much, and the taste isn't particularly good, but it's not bad.
Key Point: Among the many dishes I ordered, the curry was surprisingly good.

🇦🇺Melbourne The super blue and spectacular Bass Strait🌊 There are also many wild animals on the island!
A must-do local day trip in Melbourne!
The tour guide took us to Phillip Island🏝️
He introduced that this island is not only the habitat of many Australian wild animals
It is also a place where surfing experts from all over the world come to make a pilgrimage in the summer.
We saw many small animals on the way, including many cute little kangaroos.
We also got off the bus halfway and saw the super spectacular and blue Bass Strait🌊
Bass Strait is a strait that separates Tasmania from the southeastern Australian mainland.
About 500 km long
The sea water is really blue and the sound of waves hitting the shore is also spectacular.
After viewing the channel, we headed to Penguin Parade to see penguins!
We also saw many wild animals along the way, such as kangaroos and various seabirds.

Philip Isl
Philip Island in Melbourne, mainly to see the world's smallest penguin species. In order to protect themselves, hundreds of penguins go to the sea at sunrise and return to their nests at sunset every day. Such spectacular natural ecology has attracted many tourists to come and watch. But please note that everyone must abide by the natural ecology and never take pictures of the homing process, otherwise it will affect their return home.
