Phillip Island is 135 kilometres south-east of Melbourne, between Western Port Bay and Bass Strait. At sunset during the summer months, hundreds of Little Penguins (formerly known as Fairy Penguins) tumble ashore onto the island's Summerland Beach after a day's fishing (they swim 15-50km a day in their hunt for food). As they waddle up beach tracks to their burrows in the sand dunes, they pause along the way to preen for the visitors, who must keep to designated paths. Be sure to bring warm clothes, regardless of the season, as the beach can be cold and windy. A truly remarkable experience!
