We started our today journey ~9+am.
Today we will go out of Melbourne city and go to our main destination -> Philip Island which located at the South of Victoria.
******************* PART 1 *************************
Mornington Peninsula
Here has a morning market at every Wednesday.
It is a small town... here is how it looks like... peaceful.
Home made hamburger... AU$4.50... fresh&rich, very nice!
Noodle Box... AU$8.95... Taste just so so but I like the design of the box, very cute.
This is the Pier in this small town. Blue sky, Blue sea... feel good.
********************** * PART 2 ********************
Philip Island
On the way to go to the Philip Island. A long the way also can see such green green field. Most of them is farm.
Yeah... heading to the Philip Island... just across the bridge. Looked for the Information Center... coz gonna buy a ticket. We bought a value packet which cost AU$36 which include the entrance of Churchill Island Heritage Farm, Koala Conservation Center and Penguin Parade.
********************** PART 2.1 *********************
We arrived the Churchill Island Heritage Farm which is a very very small island.
Scenery in this Island. Captured in front of the main entrance of this Farm.
Can't miss such nice scene... we must in.
Inside the farm... green green again... good for my eyes :)
Few demonstrations are showing in certain time. This is one of their demo... milking.
********************** PART 2.2 *********************
Another visiting point, Koala Conservation Centre.
At fist, we felt very disappointed because most of the koala are resting at the top... we very hard to get close with them... can't really see how they look like.
Well... we went to another 'view point'... luckily one of the koala is getting down to look for food. Here also have a baby kangaroo!
Yeah... I was very excited! He just next to me in one feet. Wanted to touch him... hmm... tahan tahan... can't do it.
Right eye of this koala was get infected with one of the bacteria call Chlamydophila. His eye was blind.
This one is healthy... no any infectioin.
No screaming or shout after I saw it :p
********************** PART 2.3 *********************
Heading to another view point...
Nobbies Boardwalk, no entrance fee needed. This located at west of the Philip Island.
These 'stone' is the signature of Nobbies.
Here also is one of the home of little Penguin. See... their footprint & home (hole).
Excited to see such beautiful sun set?
************************ Part 2.4 ********************
Most exciting program... Penguin Parade. They have different type of sitting. Well, the ticket that we bought is the stardart one... no regret... because it is good enough to see the little penguins back from sea and walk back to their home. No camera/video allowed :(
Those penguins are coming back from sea around 6:30pm... badge by badge... group by group... they will stop and look around before heading forward to thier home... see around... see partner... see leader... ok, clear... go! Some penguins very shy... they went back to the sea and wait for another badge of penguin come back and move back to home together.
What made me feel intereting is... after they back to their home... our broadway is just on top of their home... they not affair anymore... stand there or move freely... walk & make sound to get back to their home. So cute!

*********************** PART 3 **********************
Already 8+pm after the penguin show. We have no idea where to have our dinner. GPS... showing the nearest of restaurant. Just 1 km of Philip Island... we arrived a very small town where most of the shop already clsoed. Well, we just stopped at where restaurant still open.
Thai restaurant... working out by Thai peoples. We ordered 1 tomyam soup and fish pancake. Just 2 dishes? Yes, because the food here is expensive! This dinner already cost us AU$21.80.
We back to the IBIS Hotel@ Melbourne after the dinner. Another 3-4 hours drive.
Well, we looking forward for tomorrow journey -> Yarra Valley.
