Churchill island Farm sits on a breathtaking piece of land with gorgeous views! Loved the animals and reading about the history. The Koala Conservation Reserve gave us a chance to see koalas, wallabies and an echidna up close. Just fantastic! At the Penguin Parade, we held our breath waiting for the penguins to return to their babies. We were situated in front of the device that weighs and scans the penguins upon their return to land. It was fascinating! And we also visited the Nobbies along the way. Phillip Island is a definite must see! ❤️

The whole experience was amazing and so well organised. The penguins are wonderful and we really enjoyed seeing the wildlife there. Just marred by the ignorance and rudeness of a few people who thought it was ok to video and take pictures!

Start your adventure by strolling along the treetop boardwalks, where you’ll come face-to-face with these adorable creatures going about their daily routine of eating and sleeping. As you meander through the bushland, keep an eye and ear out for other native wildlife. You might catch a glimpse of wallabies hopping about or echidnas shuffling through the undergrowth. And don't miss the melodious chorus of colorful native birds, their cheerful birdsong echoing through the trees.
