April 8th 2011 Philips Island, Caves, Penguins

Stayed at the Continental in the town of, yes, Cowes. On the way we visited the Caves in Buchan which proved to be interesting but also gave us the opportunity to wander through the national park and get even more exercise. In the evening we drove to the Penguin Parade on the far side of the Island. This ia alll about the 35cm Penguins returning to their burrows after a days fishing where they land on the beach in numbers and parade across the beach together. A little bit overhyped but interesting!
