Phillip Island Nature Parks

Penguins on paradeOnly 90 minutes from Melbourne Phillip Island Nature Parks provides unique wildlife encounters. Come face to face with koalas at the Koala Conservation Centre, step back in time at the beautiful Churchill Island and witness the magic of the sunset waddle of the Little Penguins at the Penguin Parade.

Stroll along treetop boardwalks and experience Koalas close up in their natural habitat at the Koala Conservation Centre. Wander through the bushland and enjoy the abundant wildlife.

At Churchill Island history and tranquility greet you.  Wander through the historic homestead and cottage gardens or just take in the spectacular views of Western Port at the Visitor Interpretation Centre and Licensed Café.

Witness the ancient ritual of the smallest penguins in the world. Every night sunset Little Penguins come ashore at the world-renowned Penguin Parade at Summerland Beach.  Enjoy viewing the cute Little Penguins as they waddle their way back to their burrows.

Experience spectacular coastal scenery from the boardwalks and lookout points set amongst natural sea bird gardens at the Nobbies/Seal Rocks. The blowhole along this rugged coastline gives an awesome display. One and a half kilometres offshore is Seal Rocks, home to Australia’s largest Australian Fur Seal colony.

Explore more of Phillip Island Nature Parks from the walking tracks at stunning Rhyll Inlet, Swan Lake, Cape Woolamai and Pyramid Rock. These areas are managed by Phillip Island Nature Parks to protect the birdlife, wallabies and other wildlife.
