Phillip Island

Yesterday we left to Queenscliff at 10 o’clock and we took a ferry to… Sorrento. It is very nice, but “Italians do it better”.

The we drove to San Remo (again? Here there isn’t the song festival), then to Phillip Island.

First of all we stopped to the Koala Conservation Centre and saw a lot of koalas and parrots. There was also a small kangaroo amongst trees.

Second stop to the Phillip Island circuit. Here the best thing we viewed was a group of kangaroos under a tree. They were caged, probably to not let them go on the circuit while cars were running.

To the Nobbies we couldn’t see the seals (too late to get a ferry) but there was plenty of seagulls (and fly, obviusly).

Dinner in Cowes and we went to the Penguin Parade. Small penguins are really small (20 cm tall). They are very funny: arrives to the beach in small groups, then return to water, then back to the beach, moving as they are exploring and cheating seagulls.

As we went back to the parkway, we saw many penguins going back to their barrows and many other watching peoples going to their cars (and I wonder: did the penguins pay the ticket too?).

Amongst the penguins, a small kangaroo was watching people with suspect. Suddenly, with two jumps, was out of sight.

We left the Penguin Parade Centre at 10.00 pm and we was back at home at 1.00 am.

Today we will relax and write blog. Alessandra has already done two washing machine. We have to find an internet point to publish our posts.
