To Phillip Island

14/6/10
On our way to Phillip Island..

via a bridge


Phillip Island is approximately 140 kilometres South East of Melbourne and is the home of the world famous Penguin Parade.


Sorry, no photography of the little penguins.


The Penguin Parade is one of the most well known and popular attractions on Phillip Island.


Each evening at dusk the little penguins waddle up the beach to return to their burrows. Sometimes they could lose their way home. That's why they ended up on the road.

    It is a shame you cannot take the penguins’ pictures - I am sure you would get many lovely shots. It must have been fun to watch them.

    I was tempted to snap them but it was too risky. We were warned.

    I can understand why camera is not allow. But phone? is it because the ringing might scare the penguin?

Twin bananas

Image
Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
