We were picked up after lunch and after. 2hr drive reached the Koala Conservation Area where these beautiful creatures hang out in a massive wild area. Some were so close you could nearly touch them. Apparently they sleep most of the day so we were really lucky to find some sort of awake!
I couldn't take enough photos of them.....so cuddly and really laid back!
From there we moved onto the coast to watch the little blue penguins come home for the night from feeding at sea all day to get back to their burrows. They are only about 15in tall and arrived in their hundreds once it started to go dark, running up the beach towards us and off to find their homes.
We were not allowed to take photos as the flash damages their eyes, so I got a postcard and took a copy so that you could see what they are like.
It will be a moment to remember in my head......rather like my Black Bear encounter last year!!
If you want to see more, go online to Philip Island and it will tell you more about them.
