Phillip Island, the car journey

Phillip Island is touristy and pretty easy to get around. That is, of course, if you have a vehicle. We didn't but decided to remedy that.
May we introduce you to The Wombat:

We drove around the island to the Grand Prix Circuit. We thought we might go go-karting by the sea. But it was far more money than any sane person would choose to spend!
So we drove to The Nobbies, a set of rocks that houses heaps of seals and birds. There were walkways to get a better view of the rocks and the sea. They all led to The Blowhole where waves have carved out a cave. The waves rush into the back of the cave and the pressure pushes the water and air back out in a forceful mist. Very dramatic. Very hard to photograph.

Then the next day as I was looking out the window I saw a wallaby in the yard next door! How exciting!!

Phillip Island... A long walk

After the Chocolate Factory we kept on walking and walking. We walked from Newhaven to Cape
Woolamai.

We walked through the town of Cape Woolamai and into the State Park. We didn't know what to expect but as we walked over the hill all we could see what an overwhelmingly beautiful view of the sea.

We walked down to the nearly deserted beach. The sand was perfect and fine. The only worry was that there were many jelly fish washed up on the beach.

We walked up to the highest point on Phillip Island to see The Pinnicles, a granite rock formation.

On the walk back we saw an echidna waddling along in the wild. I still think of these animals as things that are only in zoos!

We ended up walking 23km and ended the day with the most delicious pizza and pear cider eaten on the side of the road... (it didn't last long enough for a picture!)
