Board a coach at the pier and drive to the tip of the island's southwest corner, known as the Summerland Peninsula.
Here you'll find the Nobbies, a pair of large craggy rocks that jut out of the water when the tide is at the right level. Beyond the Nobbies, you can see Seal Rocks -- home to one of the largest fur seal populations in Australia.
Nearby Summerland Beach is the site of the nightly Penguin Parade, where the world's smallest penguins waddle up on the sand after a hard day fishing.
Visit the National Vietnam Veterans Museum, founded and built by Vietnam veterans to help and lend support to other veterans after their return to Australia. It is home to a huge collection of artifacts, including Iroquois, Sioux and Cobra helicopters, a Canberra bomber and a Centurion tank. A moving holographic light and sound show helps illustrate the significance of Australia's military involvement.
