PHILLIP ISLAND
Phillip Island, lying just off Australia's southern coast is a popular day trip and offers the very best of Victorian coastal scenery combined with wildlife for everyone to enjoy.
The island was named after Governor Arthur Phillip, the first Governor of New South Wales, by explorer and seaman George Bass, who sailed in an open whale boat, arriving from Sydney on 5 January 1798 and it's coastline is part of the Bass Coast.
At Summerland Beach, spectators gather daily at sunset to watch the Penguin Parade, when Little penguins come ashore in groups.
The Nobbies outcrop is the viewing site for Seal Rocks, home to a large colony of Australian fur seals. The Phillip Island Circuit is a well-known track for motorcycle and car racing.
