Introduction

Phillip Island, located about 130 km southeast of Melbourne, is an island off the western port bay area of the southern coast of Victoria, Australia. The island is home to many native animals such as koalas, kangaroos, etc., and is known as an animal paradise. Especially near Nobbies Cape in the southwest of the island, Summerland Beach is a protected area for little penguins, the smallest penguins in the world, which are very cute. During the trip, visitors can also visit the Melbourne zoo to experience the unique charm of Australian animals. And chocolate lovers don't forget to visit the chocolate factory on Phillip Island, immerse yourself in the ocean of delicious chocolate, and appreciate chocolate craftsmanship. In the evening, the tourist area of Penguin Island welcomes the most special star - little penguins, so this place is also called "Penguin Island". You can sit on the beach, waiting for the little penguins to emerge from the sea and waddle across the beach to their nests. At the same time, there are also many other activities on the island, from watching milking cows, shearing sheep and sheepdog shows, to observing Australian wildlife, and encountering sea lions by the rocks. There are always some exciting programs waiting for your arrival.
