Koalas & Penguins, Phillip Island
The visit to the Koala Sanctuary was very interesting. In addition to the Koalas we saw some very colorful birds in the wild. The penguin walk (penguins returning to the island for the night at dusk was a highlight, with excellent commentary from the ranger and pretty good visibility with the night vision goggles (the “ultimate” option for that tour). We could have done without the stops at the dairy farm and the winery, so visitors who have a rental car may wish to do this on their own. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and personable, and we had a very enjoyable dinner with our group at a local hotel restaurant. Also, anyone wanting photos of the penguins will need to visit the Melbourne zoo, as no photography is allowed.
