About 142 kilometers southwest of Murben, there is a hidden island. The locals gave her a name, "Penguin Island," and the animals living on the island are indeed worthy of the cute name, on this island. You can meet Australia's three Menges: a group of Oceania-only penguin species: little blue penguins, and two other familiar species: kangaroos and koalas. Now, follow Little Leo's footsteps and approach this lovely island together. Oh, by the way, if you can't find Penguin Island on your navigation, don't be surprised, because it's just the island's real name, "Philip Island (Philip Island)."
Philip Island is connected to Australia's mainland via a bridge and is about a two-hour drive from the city of Murben, and the whole of Philip Island is placed within Philip Island Nature Park (Philip Island Nature Park). Many travel websites in the country sell pass tickets containing four official attractions (penguin homing, koala protection center, Cape Norbis, and Churchill Island traditional Farm). (four Park Pass), has to specify a date for penguin homing when buying tickets. The other three attractions are valid for half a year on the specified date.
In this issue of the Australian Parental-Child Journey Series, we will share with you five of the most important attractions here:
Penguin homing (Penguin Parade)
This should be the main purpose of the vast majority of visitors here, but also the most famous project on the island. On Philip Island, since thousands of years ago, there has been a group of small blue penguins, and before dawn every day, they have already leave their homes to feed in the sea, but at sunset, The little penguins will flock from the sea to their lair on the beach, some with little fish in their mouths, and bring them back to feed the little penguin baby.
Visitors will come to the observatory before sunset and sit quietly, with a sharp cold wind blowing from the Antarctic mainland to the shore unobscured, people trembling in the cold wind, but still enthusiastic. Watch these full-bodied little ones walk past you and return to their warm little bungalow.?
The best viewing position for the entire viewing area is the beach in front of the viewing platform, occupying the first row as far as possible. The penguins will walk close in front of you and give you a king's contempt from time to time. People then follow the trestle leading to the hall, looking for traces of penguins in the grass. In order to maximize the protection of penguin life, there are no photos and video oh! Of course, there are still a lot of people in stealthie.

Corner (The Nobbies)
Cape Nobis is located in the southwest corner of Philip Island, in the center of Norbes, where you can enroll in a wildlife coast cruise (Wildlife Coast Cruise), sailing to nearby sea leopard rock to watch fur seals. This is the largest habitat for fur seals in Australia.
It was a pity that we had gone in the afternoon and missed this rare trip to the sea. But here the seaside trestle is still very spectacular, standing here, can face the vast Bath Strait, the surging waves flapping against the cliffs along the shore, the waves sparking in the sun shining in the sun. (applause.) There are also small exhibitions in the center of Norbes that tell stories of marine life in nearby waters.
Koala Care Center (Koala Conservation Centre)
The koala centre is located in the east of Philip Island. You can watch koalas from close range because Victoria's government is not allowed access to koalas (in fact, only Queensland is allowed access to koalas throughout Australia). So the center tries to make it possible for visitors to face-to-face with koalas at the nearest distance. For example, the center will build lots of trestle paths around koala-dwelling eucalyptus trees, where visitors can walk to koala's "home" to see where the furry cutie is hiding. The center also specially hung fresh eucalyptus branches on the treetops next to the trestle path to attract koala to climb near the trestle path.
(the sign on the side of the road says that several koalas can be found on the road, and that there is a distinction between sex and sex.)
Churchill Island traditional Farm, (Churchill Island)
Another attraction included in Philip Island's four Park Pass is Churchill's traditional Farm. Don't underestimate the farm, which is Victoria's first farm, which retains Australia's most traditional farm life experience, with the highest level of participation for children compared to several other attractions on the ticket. Here, you can experience riding tractors, watching traditional shaving techniques, sheepdog herding, and being able to take part in milking milk and tossing horse whip in person, is a good place for parents and children to enjoy themselves. Most farm performances and activities are scheduled between 11:00 and 3 p.m. Remember not to miss the time.
(here, even peacocks are scattered)
(little Leo also experienced a milking of milk.)
(how it feels to feel the wool you just cut)
Philip Island Wildlife Park (Phillip Island Wildlife Park)
In addition to the four more famous attractions on Philip Island, the Wildlife male (Phillip Island Wildlife Park) of Philip Island must be highlighted. This is a private park, and tickets are not included, so many strategies do not mention the park. We were introduced by the receptionist when we checked into the hotel, and the results completely exceeded our expectations.
This is a fully open park with very primitive but oversized facilities, including a large area of primitive natural swamps. There are hundreds of kangaroos and swans in the park, each with a pack of fodder when buying tickets. Here, people can have real zero-distance contact with these wild animals, and kangaroos jump around us, and when you see your food in your hand, they jump toward you, and their wet tongues lick the feed on your hands. It was disgusting at first, and slowly found that these kangaroos were actually very meek, full of food and drink also do not mind letting you touch.
The blue planet we live in, there are many, many places, suitable for us to explore with children. Continue to pay attention to our public number, bring your children together on the road, feel the real world, and grow together in the exploration!
