Trip to Phillip Island

We all took a 2 night trip to Phillip Island and stayed in some little cabins there.  We mainly went to see the penguins coming into shore each night.  Unfortunately we weren't allowed to take any photos, but they came into shore in little groups on dusk, waddled up the beach, and went off looking for their burrows.  They were very cute to watch.

The following day we went for a walk along the boardwalk, looking out on these picturesque rocks and waves surging in, called the Nobbies.  It was freeeezing cold!



We also enjoyed taking a walk through a Koala Sanctuary. We saw 10 or so, from a distance, and most of them were asleep, but very cute!


After lunch we went to this unusual place called Amaze n Things, full of optical illusions (see all our kids were put on a plate for dinner!)... see the tap standing up in mid-air, and all the water coming out of the windows of this house?  It was rather a lot of fun and we had some good laughs!


The kids enjoying the playground... I love the way Aria is so concerned about her brother's scraped knee! :-)

Beautiful! It looks like very untamed country.
