3rd Trip - Phillip Island (Churchill Island & Nobbies Centre)

Day 112

2 Days 1 Night @ Phillip Island - My 2nd Birthday Present from Mr Tan :)

Day 1 @ Phillip Island

We collected the car on Satuday morning and they told us they ran out of GPS! We tried to call other car rental companies, hoping to find one with a GPS but to no avail. Google Maps on iPhone to the rescue! With accurate maps and directions, it was a perfect navigator except that it depleted the battery life fast. We reached the resort (All Seasons Phillip Island Eco Resort) before noon and were very happy that we could check in. Most of the accommodation on Phillip Island have a min 2-night stay policy and this was one of the few that allowed a 1-night stay.

We booked a 1-bedroom villa from Wotif but got a 2-bedroom villa instead. The sheets and towels were clean but there were so many spider webs on the roof and exterior. Yucks! There were stains on the sofa covers so I used the extra blankets from the 2nd bedroom to cover the sofas.

Churchill Island Heritage Farm

We had lunch at Subway before heading to Churchill Island Heritage Farm with our 3 Parks Pass ($36 for each adult). After 2 trips, I have lowered my expectations of the must-see attractions here. As the name suggests, it is a heritage farm with old buildings but what attract visitors are the daily farming activities such as cow milking, sheep shearing, blacksmithing and working dogs.

Nobbies Centre

Next stop was Nobbies Centre. We wore our hooded jackets and ventured onto the boardwalk. There were so many birds flying above us and we certainly don't wish to be "blessed" by them. It was very very windy and my jacket was too thin to withstand the cold.

By the time we finished the walk, we were cold and hungry and by the time we finished our fish and chips and wedges, we were sleepy. Haha. We took a nap in the car before heading for the highlight of our trip - The Penguin Parade!
