Melbourne – Phillip Island
The distance from where we stayed (Ferntree Gully) to Philip Island took about one and half hour. A long drive, but the journey along is really captivating. It is entirely a different scene with the views of farms spread across a vast land. There are sheeps and cows seen on the farm. Certain areas, are views of the farm and beyond that is the sea. The sky is clear blue – simply beautiful. For those of you who are not sure where Phillip Island is… there’s a map below of this post for your reference.
Churchill Island
Our first stop was Churchill Island. It is owned by the Churchill families and you can see the actual house and visit the farm. The house is left almost untouched, so you can see a lot of antiques. Being old, it does seemed a little spooky though. The farm however is simply beautiful. Map and pictures as below.

Koala Conservatory
Our second stop was Koala conservatory. Many years ago our friends who have visited Australia usually comes back with souvenir of koalas but this time round, seeing the koala with out own eyes are just amazing – they are the cutest little thing you ever seen (other than the penguins). But yes, you can see them sleeping on trees, all so cute and cuddly – makes you want to have them as pets!

The Nobbies
Our next stop was the Nobbies – simply captivating scenery – the wind of the waves is extremely strong and cold. There is a big rock which they call it as The Nobbies and here is the sanctuary of seagulls. You can see amazingly big flocks of seagulls here and the landscape is simply beautiful.
