Melbourne Philip Island

Walking pass...
It more like I am in Japan!!!


Saw this retro car down the street.. I guess its quite common.
Again.. I join my company's Japanese Tour again!!

リトルペンギンウォッチングと動物ふれあい体験

Little Penguin Watching & Aussie Fauna Park

ロングセラーのツアー 日本語ガイド付きツアー

野生のリトルペンギンが生息するフィリップ島はメルボルンから約2時間。日没後、かわいいリトルペンギンたちが巣を目指して海から上がってくる姿は健気で感動的! 途中でワラビーやカンガルーとの触れ合いも体験できます。

マイバスデスクからのおすすめ!
最 初に訪れるマルーコアラ&ファウナパークでは、コアラ、カンガルー、ウォンバット、エミューなど、オーストラリアのユニークな動物たちが出迎えてくれま す。ピョンピョンと跳ねてきたワラビーに手から餌をやったり触ったり、人なつこい動物たちとのふれあいをお楽しみいただけます。ツアーの最大の見所はやは りリトルペンギンの行進!島のペンギン保護区で日没を待っていると、ちらちらと波打ち際に白いお腹が見え始め、やがて続々と上陸してきます。可愛いペンギ ンを何度も見たくてと、リピーターが多いのもこのツアーの特徴です。

After 1.5hrs from City,
I reach Fauna Park, holding food on my hand...


I just kept looking at the animals..
Then I realize that,
I am the last person in the group to feed the animals.


Just looking at the Koala, his nails is very sharp,
should go for some manicure.


I tried to feel all animals.. But~

I manage to feed Ostrich but not the donkey and horse..
Just feel so yucks that the saliva drip on my hands.
I can't feed big size Kangaroo too.


Haha~~ At last this little one I can make it!!
But you can imagine how timid I am,
I gave up more than half of the cup to others!!!


This Kangaroo is pregnant! But don't know when will be the due.


This farm has a small crocodile.. Quite inactive!! But then still look scary.

I find this peacock very cute.

Setting off to other places.


This is not in the itinerary, as not dinner time yet~

so we came here for a stroll.



I guess this is how Aussie spend their life daily.

I saw this Japanese Uncle love his wife so much!!
She is always the model for his photos!



Follow by this little 8months old baby crawling in the car park!!
This is the kind of life I am looking for..
Dun need to be so anxious over the baby and let them have the freedom!

Heading to the Restaurant!


A nice coastline view with a lobster dinner!!


This mini burger belongs to the guide.

After dinner, before we head for the penguin then as

There is still time for one more place to go!!



Its a observatory and there, you can see a small amount of penguins going home!

The weather is terribly cold!! I am under dress again!

Sun setting soon, so heading to the Penguin Go Home show~

As it is a nature place, in order not to spoil the habitats,
drivers have to be extra extra careful.

Penguins will start swimming back after 9pm, I was already there frozen cold!!
My guide could hear their sound like trying to gather as a group in the sea,
before swimming back to the shore. Then normally they came back with 5 and above!
They are the super mini penguin, I think its quite a long time for them to reach home.
I also saw them trying to catch their breathe after a long walk on the beach.
Very Very cute!!!

Just too bad, no photo taking allow, so I just took a photo from the park wall paper!
