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.
