We landed in Melbourne in the mid afternoon and quickly made our way south toward Phillip Island to see a very promising evening show called Penguin Parade! Just after the sundown whole colony of penguins are coming back from the sea with food to their nests on the dunes. You can see them coming off the water gathering at the edge of the sea assessing security levels and when they are ready they make a run towards the dunes! it's a hilarious view and amazing at the same time. Hundreds and hundreds of them appearing from the sea, and gathering in groups. They never go through the beach alone. Always are waiting for bigger group to arrive and together they are making their way home. Also there is always one at the back looking like he is lost or missed the "run!" instruction and he is trying to catch up with the group screaming "heeey! wait for meeee!!!" :D Hilarious!
On the way back from the beach you can actually pass them near their homes and watch them closely. That was a very nice experience and worth going to. It's about 1.5h drive south from Melbourne. Unfortunately there will be no pictures from that event as Park Rangers were closely watching and enforcing "No Cameras" Rule. Well, the experience will stay in my head :)
Tomorrow we are ready to see the Great Ocean Road!
