Okay, let’s me start sharing photos with you now 
Koala Conservation Centre.
Stroll through bush land and enjoy koalas in their natural habitat on our treetop boardwalks.
But too bad we cant find any Koala 
So disappointed… I felt disappointed because last time I went to Sydney, I can even touch the koala. Here, cant even find one yet
Koala spent 20 hours for sleeping and resting! Is it winter time, too nice to sleep? Thats why cant see any koala here?
I told myself dont give up. Keep finding! Finally we found one!
Close up abit… ♥ So cute ♥
We saw kangaroo also.
Here’s the one!
Opps…Really found one koala on the tree but koala was sleeping there. This koala hor, so sweet dream here but we found like hell ~
Deng Deng!!! Found another one! Hehe..It will be very good If this koala is real one ~
Bin Bin with big Koala doll.
Churchill Island (We have skipped this place due to lack of time. According to my sister, this place actually almost same as the place we visited this morning – Warrook Cattle Farm)
Cross the bridge to experience our historic buildings, heritage gardens and working farm with animal nursery.
When you come to Philip Island, don’t forget to visit The Nobbies Centre. Entry is free. Only 5 minutes drive from Penguin Parade.
I loved the view here. Superb nice
Photograph lover, dont miss this place yo~
Not too bright not too dark. Just a good timing for photo shooting.
Hubby looked great in this photo
I liked this photo cause taken by me….Heheheh ^^
My brother and sister-in-law looked great in this photo too.
Another lovely husband and wife.
We found two little penguins hide under the boardwalk! Hmmmm…are the penguins got lost???
This photo was taken by digital camera. Er..the outcome seem like nicer than my dslr camera lei~ Want to ask my brother what is the brand of this camera. Hope to get one. Because sometime brought the big camera abit troublesome.
Sunset @ The Nobbies.
View of The Nobbies Centre.
From The Nobbies centre, you can use their unique selas camera to zoom in, ‘spy’ the seals. But need to pay a $2 if not mistaken. My brother got tried but unlucky they cant see anything. Maybe it was not a right season or right time. If you lucky, you can see seals as photo below. Looked great right? [Source].
After Nobbies Centre, we went to Penguin Parade.
Penguin Parade
Enjoy watching the penguins in their natural habitat from general viewing stands and boardwalks
Just to share with you about the Information on penguin arrival times throughout the year. The time we visited is the least no of penguin x_x arriving. It was their nest building time. However, I still able to see alot of penguins. First time in my life.
Around 5.00 pm, we was preparing to go in. Things to know :-
- Includes entry to the visitor centre, displays, cafe, souvenir shop
- Free small hot drink or bottled water at the Boardwalk Cafe
- The audio tour kiosk is located at the rear doors to the visitors centre at the Penguin Parade.
- The kiosk will be open for two hours prior to the penguins arriving.
- The audio tour is available in 4 languages – English, Korean, Chinese/Mandarin and Japanese.
- Visitors must leave an AU$100 deposit, either with cash or a credit card imprint
- We recommend you are seated 30 minutes before the penguins arrive to hear the Penguins Plus ranger commentary. The rangers are then on hand to answer your questions.
- NO FILMING OR PHOTOGRAPHY ALLOWED
We waited at the viewing stand 30 minutes before the penguins arrive.d The weather was so cold but we didnt give up. After a while. Finally the penguins arrived! It was a super great view when the penguin arrived to beach. It was not only 10 or 20 penguins but thousand and thousand penguins….So, you can see a huge number of penguins walking from the sea to their home. 50% of penguins passed by us before reaching their home.Thus, I can see the penguin very closely. Especially the pattern how’s the penguin walked. So cute! I found that the penguins back to their home in team. Each team had a leader walked infront. At first I dont know that no camera inside. After I took few photos, I was been warned by the rangers 
Hehe… So paiseh.
If the penguin didnt follow the team or follow the leader. The penguin maybe got lost. See this poor little penguin. Got lost already.
This picture showed the home of little penguin.
Since I cant take picture inside the penguin parade. So I took photos at the visitor centre. There were some displays about penguin.
Souvenirs shop.
Hehe..this is not the photo taken by me looor..I grab it from penguin parade website. Anyway, this was the real scene I saw and experienced. Althought the ticket was abit costly but it was still worth!So, dont miss it~

Around 8.00 pm, we were so hungry. So, we simply picked a restaurant which was still opened. FYI. Most of the shops, restaurant will be closed around 6pm. Restaurant may be late abit but also around 8 pm. When we reached this restaurant. It was closed actually. But the boss very kind, he said we will be thier last customer today.
We quickly made our order.
Vegetables ~
Fried chicken.
Pork.
Fish.
Er…cant remember what is this.
Sweet and sour pork.
Egg! We ordered alot right? We missed chinese food so much after few day western food Hehe…The dinner cost us around $176. In Australia, this price quite worth already. The food overall is okay. If you wish to look for chinse restaurant. Can try this San Remo Chinese Restaurant (大园).
After a full meal, we drove back to Melbourne City. It took around 90 minutes journey. We checked in City Edge Serviced Apartment. We were not staying at this building but another building. We came here was to collect they key.
