So completely Australian - unique in the world.
Every evening at dusk the Little Penguins come home from the sea at
Phillip Island. From the waves - across the beach - to the sand dunes - the
Little Penguins can almost be touched as they waddle to their burrows.
Sunset at Summerland Beach has drawn millions of visitors to Phillip
Island. It is the nightly ritual of these little flightless birds which will
enthrall you as you observe from the beach and premium viewing area.
Koalas - totally Australian - peering down from the gum trees where they
live. Fat and furry, wet noses and a gentle smile of contented living on
Phillip Island.
