- Penguin Parade
The Penguin Parade on Phillip Island is currently the largest wild penguin protection base in the world. There are a large number of wildlife experts working on penguin research and conservation, with more than 30,000 penguins perched on Phillip Island. However, due to the increasing human activities, the natural environment of wild penguins has been changed, and the penguins have been decreasing year by year. Phillip Island is a resort known as the fairy penguin. It is home to the world's smallest penguin with a height of about 30 centimeters. It is also known as the “Penguin Island”. People from all over the world come to the Phillip Island Nature Park to enjoy the penguin homing, but in order to protect the penguin's habitat, only 500,000 people can come to watch each year. When the sun goes down and the night falls, a group of small penguins come ashore and return to their nests. They are very cute. Thousand of years ago, the summer land of Phillip Island has already been the home of the little penguins. They built nests in the dunes and had a regular life. For thousands of years they have always followed a unchanged route back to their caves. Because the penguins are very timid, their "homing" is in the evening, in order to avoid the frightened penguins, all tourists are forbidden to take pictures or videotape them.
