Having Fun While In Phillip Island Australia
Phillip Island is rich with wildlife, natural beauty and amusement parks. The best-known attraction occurs each day at dusk. Fairy penguins return from fishing, “parading” up the beach to their burrows. The world’s largest colony of Australian Fur Seals dwells on Seal Rocks. Seal Rocks can be viewed by charter boat or helicopter tours daily. Kangaroos, wallabies and other native animals can be seen closely at the wildlife park on the main road to Cowes. Charter fishing is popular in Westernport Bay and Bass Strait.
The calm waters off the sandy beaches of Westernport Bay are safe for swimming. The beaches of Bass Strait offer some of the best surfing and scenery in Australia.
Island attractions include a water park, a fishing park that teaches fishing and cooks your catch and two wineries. Two golf courses, one a Par 3 set on coastal dune land, the other has a full 18 enjoyable holes. Excitement is driving a high performance V8 sedan three laps on a grand prix circuit or driving the go-kart track.
Drive the land bridge to historic Churchill Island. Tour the traditional Aussie working farm; spend the day bird watching in the wetlands or walk in the gardens.
