Phillip Island Nature Parks Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Phillip Island Nature Park in Victoria, Australia covers 2750 hectares and is owned by the Victorian government. Its four main parks are Penguin Homecoming, Koala Conservation Centre, Churchill Island Heritage Farm, and Nobis Centre, along with recreational areas such as wetlands, woodlands, and beaches. The park is part of the UNESCO Western Harbour Biosphere Reserve and is a non-profit organization. Income generated from ecotourism activities goes towards protected areas, nature research, and educational programs. The park is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including little penguins, koalas, possums, kangaroos, fur seals, and bats, as well as over 330 species of native plants. The park's wetlands meet the international protection standards stipulated by the Convention on Wetlands. Xialu Beach is the little blue penguin's protected area. Phillip Island is the largest wild penguin protection base in the world. There are over 30,000 penguins inhabiting the island, and 500,000 people are allowed to visit the park annually. Churchill Island is home to a large seal colony, and the Koala Conservation Centre aims to preserve and protect the dwindling koala population on Phillip Island.

Philip Island is a very original attraction in the suburbs of Melbourne. It feels that the whole island is a complete ecological protection system, wildlife everywhere, classic penguin trips, cute little babies, and you can see the complete southern hemisphere galaxy, a very classic attraction. You have to come and feel it.
[Check in March] Phillip Island to see the little penguin coming home [love] Melbourne southeast, beautiful Phillip Island. Opposite is the direction of Antarctica. A kind of penguin lives here. The little kind [love]
Superb 🎉 Miss customer service is also very patient ～ Very worthwhile experience! Watching the swaying penguins is really cute!
Highlights of parent-child travel, absolutely recommended. We saw everything as expected, the penguins were very cute. Value for money, the fly in the ointment is very cold, remember to bring an umbrella and wear a down jacket, wait for a long time to wait for dark.
Very convenient, free parking, parking lot (there are signs on the road), follow the banner instructions to directly redeem the ticket, it is best to go in around 8:30 in the evening, otherwise the sea breeze will be white and so on.
Very recommended!
Buying here is more affordable. The package price is much cheaper than buying on site. The price is more appropriate.
