Phillip Island
Phillip Island is a place of natural beauty, sandy beaches, majestic rugged coastline, tranquil wetlands and unique wildlife experiences.


The Nobbies
The Nobbies, at the western tip of Phillip Island, offers spectacular views along Phillip Island’s southern coast. 
Wander along the boardwalks to the amazing blowhole. The boardwalks take you through the breeding colonies of seabirds including Little Penguins and Silver Gulls.

Comprising tranquil mangroves and mudflats, this wetland area is world renowned for its importance to migratory and resident birds. The area provides bird watchers and nature lovers with an exceptional viewing experience from the boardwalks and walking tracks.

Cape Woolamai
Cape Woolamai is with spectacular views of Phillip Island and the surrounding coastline and is the highest point on Phillip Island. It was terrible windy. We walked part of our walking and returned back....
