Phillip Island

While staying in Melbourne, we decided to take a day trip to Phillip Island, which is about an hour and half outside of the city. It's here at sunset that the world's smallest penguins waddle to shore after a long day spent in the sea. Kat and I were especially excited about the penguin parade, and then extremely disappointed when we realized that you had to pay to watch... along with hundreds of other people... and you're not even allowed to take pictures of video tape the event. Change of plans. We instead went to see two different blowholes and ended up eating dinner on the beach and watching the sunset. All free of charge. The whole day was so much fun, I couldn’t be happier that we went!




A very rocky beach we had to walk across in order to get to the blowhole.

Technically, it's just water smashing up against the rocks, not a blowhole. Still very cool.

Our next stop was The Nobbies, where the real blowhole was. This blowhole was a let down, so I didn't bother putting up a picture. The scenery was worth the trip alone though!


Flynn's beach.





A very scary, spiky, and (thankfully) dead blow fish I would have stepped on if it were not for Adam.
