tourism. They have won several awards and are internationally recognised for their excellence.

Phillip Island Nature Parks are responsible for the care of most of the natural areas on Phillip Island and traditionally belongs to the Aborigine people, who were its original inhabitants centuries ago. The walking trails through the island provide visitors with the ideal opportunity to explore the gorgeous fauna and flora of this area at a slower pace. Apart from the penguins, koalas and heritage farms, Phillip Island Nature Parks is also home to several other attractions, as well as to stunning vistas that are spectacles in their own rights. These include untouched shores, mangrove estuaries and vast expanses of clear, sunny skies.

Other attractions include:

• Rhyll Inlet and Wetland – home of mangroves and mudflats and numerous bird species.
• Cape Woolamai – wealthy in its cultural heritage, this is also the living quarters of the island’s largest Short-tailed Shearwater colony and the choice surfing spot for surfers from all over the country.
• The Nobbies – several boardwalks lead through colonies of Little Penguins and Silver Gulls to the impressive blowhole.
• Oswin Roberts Woodland – a eucalyptus woodland that is home to wallabies, owls and bats.

While these are just a few of the many sights on offer at Phillip Island Nature Parks, they offer local and international guests hours of rewarding exploration and memorable experiences.
