Phillip Island Trip Pt.1

First time i went to Philip Island was with Kangan Batman TAFE during our V8 Supercar trip, that was around September last year, and i didn't experience quite enough of what the whole island is all about, untill now.

First of, we check in on the Coachman Motel to 'unload' our luggage and stuffs, and boy oh boy was it plain heaven ^^

The car that we rent for the trip..a Mitsubishi Magna V6 station wagon....might not be a 'everyones-car' for a motoring enthusiast but damn it does the job alrite ~~

Stiggy must be so proud ^^

The seaview from Cowes, Philip Island

Does this place sells shark fin??

The Gullivers is a place just 2 minute walk from the house, as from the house, the town center is just 2 minutes away, its quite conveniant really...

We had a good meal over there with a generous Seafood Platter makes the day for dad~~

At the shopping mall we come across this, since its quite blur....it literally says TOFU, Malaysian Satay Flavour....

After wards we went to the Penguin Conservation Center..

Weather today...freezing~

Just like it says !

The conservation center was very cool, u get tons of information plus souvenir shops that sells penguin related stuff and it was really nice, all the stuff was of quality made but prices are abit pricey though... The penguin lives together in pack, or groups. And they all travel or hunt together, it is very critical to disturb the groups as in separating them or so, so when we went to watch them, we were deem to be very silent and no-camera policy applied. It was very a nice experience as i have never seen a penguin before..they all come from the beaches in groups and followed by some more groups it was very well co-ordinated and so on. We saw alot up-close but the penguin only comes out in dusk, which is almost nite, so it wasn't very visible....but nevertheless, u might have a chance to stumble upon one in the carpark. No pictures allowed so.....sorry ^^"

They have a in-house built penguin nest for them and u can view their behaviour in their habitat and its camera friendly.

Catherine got a penguin from my dad and she treat them like her friend....she say their sleeping now so dun kacau them, somemore put blanket..T.T
