夏天的火锅:“The silly koalas are very cute. Children like them more. I went there the year before last. The zoo is not big. There are some koalas, kangaroos and other animals. I like koalas more. Some kangaroos are albino, but there are quite a few kangaroos.”

M26***67:“Recommended for children, but the weather is very important. On good weather, you will see the most beautiful angle of the island, facing the sea and the spring flowers. The gift shop inside sells Australian sheep oil. After watching the sheep shearing, I really wanted to buy it. It was 10 dollars. Later, I found it in the supermarket. It was 1.5 dollars for a promotion. The same as the wool. There are several kinds of this sheep oil, which are sold in supermarkets. Overall, it is super good, cost-effective, and the scenery is good.”

iQOO🐮:“Phillip Island Nature Park is an unforgettable travel experience. It seems to be a natural treasure, the spectacular scenes of penguins returning to their nests are moving, the little guys are swaying and cute. There are seals lazily basking in the sun and playing with the waves. Walking on the beach, breathing the fresh sea breeze, feeling the tranquility and beauty of nature, let people forget the hustle and bustle of the world, just want to immerse in this pure world.”

圆宝辣妈:“The koalas are very cute. The whole center is not big. You can visit it all in one hour. There are koalas, kangaroos and many birds. The overall environment is very quiet. The koalas are very cooperative. There is also a machine at the door that can make coins and commemorative coins. The children like it very much.”

iQOO🐮:“The Puffing Billy steam train is really great! Sitting in the retro carriage, listening to the whistle, passing through dense forests and valleys. The scenery along the way is picturesque, and you can stick your feet out of the window and wave and interact with the enthusiastic residents. It feels like being in a fairy tale world. This unique journey makes people forget their troubles and is extremely comfortable.”

_M1***41:“It's a 50-minute drive from Melbourne CBD, a little far but definitely worth it! 🎫 Buy a combined ticket (entrance ticket + koala-watching ticket) on Ctrip for less than 150. Get a dog tag ticket at the door (see video), don't forget to buy a small box of food (3 dollars) before entering~ It is recommended to buy tickets at 10 or 10:30, otherwise the animals will be full, and there will be a show at 11 o'clock. 🐨 After entering, walk along the left hand and you will immediately see the koala area (the highlighted KOALAS on the map), where there is a queue. The waiter at the door will mumble a bunch of precautions. You just need to wash your hands with the hand sanitizer next to you, and then nod your head continuously to pretend that you understand. Then follow the queue forward. When it's your turn, the waiter will take your ticket and help you greet the koala to pose, and you can approach it to pet it (the fur is a bit hard, but very cute) 🪑 Next, walk out of the koala area, you will see a lot of kangaroos and ducks. Don't rush to feed them, because there are a lot of kangaroos in front, at least 20! Go to the show first. There are a lot of people queuing in front. There is a show at 11 o'clock. The animal performances here are very relaxed. It feels like they have no pressure. They can eat a lot of snacks with simple movements. This is also a manifestation of Australian chill [Wang Chai] 🦘 After watching the show, go forward on the left hand side. There are a lot of kangaroos and ducks along the way. If the kangaroo wants you to come over, it is waiting for feeding. Remember to hold the feed higher, otherwise it will be snatched away by the ducks~ There is a young kangaroo that is a bit strong and has chest muscles. If you are afraid, you can avoid it. When the kangaroo eats the feed, it will grab your hand with its little hands. Its nails are a little sharp. Boys can definitely resist it, but girls should be careful. 📸 Go along the left hand all the way. There are many birds, which I can't name. They look a bit like starlings, with red hair and green hair. There are also large birds like small ostriches, which can be fed. The birds here are more active than kangaroos. Girls with tender hands, please throw the feed on the ground, otherwise your hands will hurt. ☕ Go forward and there will be a rest area and a souvenir hut. Put the feed in the recycling box and wash your hands before entering the house, and you can leave the zoo~ [Sun] This is the only place in Melbourne where you can have this experience. Don't go to other zoos to watch from a distance, come here to feed with your own hands!”

awu45:“This is a really underestimated treasure attraction. It seems to be just a side project of a one-day tour of Melbourne attractions, but it far exceeds expectations! 🏝️ Attractions: Nobbies Point is located at the southwest end of Phillip Island. It is famous for its wild waves, spectacular cliff walks and Australia's largest seal colony habitat, Seal Rocks. You can see more than 6,000 seals lazily resting (unfortunately we went at the wrong time and didn't see this spectacular view. The breeding season is generally the most intensive from October to December). The wooden boardwalk winds along the coastline. At sunset, the golden afterglow sprinkles on the sea, and the scenery is like an oil painting. Although I didn't see groups of seals 🦭, I can still see a lot of wild kangaroos 🦘, little penguins 🐧, grey geese 🦢... etc. here. The children followed the car all the way to "search for treasures". Every time they saw 👀 small wild animals, they would be accompanied by their surprise screams 🙀! Full of experience [Send Stars] 🚗 Transportation Guide: Driving from Melbourne for about 2 hours, take the M1 Expressway to A420 to Phillip Island, and the Nobbies Point Central Parking Lot is free. Those who can't drive can take a one-day tour - the most classic is the morning train, the koala zoo at noon, Nobbies Point in the afternoon, and the penguin parade in the evening (usually including pick-up and drop-off, available on major platforms, excluding meals), or take the train to Docklands and transfer to the bus. 🥗 Dining Recommendations: 1️⃣ Thai on Island: Authentic Thai food in the alleys by the beach, more in line with the Chinese taste of sweet and sour taste. 2️⃣ Cape Kitchen: Sea view restaurant, mainly Australian style, recommend local wine with seafood platter. 3️⃣ Rusty Water Brewery: Home-brewed beer with seasonal ingredients, live music on Fridays. 4️⃣ Ming Lock Chinese Restaurant: A Chinese fusion restaurant with a variety of classic Chinese stir-fried dishes that can satisfy most tourists with Chinese stomachs. 5️⃣ San Remo Fishermans Co-Op: A seafood restaurant by the pier, with a pelican feeding show at 12 noon. [Love] Tips: 1️⃣ The sea breeze is very strong at night, so remember to prepare a windproof and warm jacket. If you really forget to bring it, you can buy a coral fleece cape in a store on the side while dining in the town! 2️⃣ Self-driving tours can also visit Smith Beach, a surfing resort on Phillip Island, or participate in the evening penguin parade. If you follow a group, the beach next to the town is also good for stepping on the waves 🌊, playing with seagulls 🦤, and playing with sand 🏖️! (The supporting shops next to it can basically meet the related shopping services for eating, drinking and having fun).”
