This excursion takes you from one end of the island to the other, inviting you to soak up the splendour of Phillip Island's legendary beauty and to appreciate its charm, history and wildlife.
A panoramic drive takes you all the way to the tip of the island's southwest corner, known as the Summerland Peninsula.
Here lie the Nobbies -- two large, craggy rocks that stick out of the water. In the same neighborhood, look for the Seal Rocks -- home to one of the largest fur seal populations in Australia. Nearby Summerland Beach is the site of the nightly penguin parade when the world's smallest penguins waddle up the sand after a hard day at the office.
Journey inland to the Phillip Island Racing Circuit -- a state-of-the-art racetrack that hosts go-karts and slot-car racing.
Cape Woolamai is Phillip Island's highest point and showcases views of some of Victoria's sweeping golden beaches.
Passing through the fishing village of Rhyll, tucked on the island's northeast corner, you'll discover a haven for pelicans, black swans, gulls and straw-necked ibis. However, Ryhll's true claim to fame is the Koala Conservation Centre. Here, you will come face to face with koalas in their natural habitat.
Notes:
Wear comfortable walking shoes.
