We arrived a day later than planned at San Remo (for Phillip Island) on 21/02/2020 as our caravan manufacture let us down (again 🙁 ) but did not let that spoil our (too short) time on Phillip Island. We love Phillip Island and could easily live in Cowes on the north of the island.
The day started by watching surfers catch a wave as we waited for the Phillip Island MotorGP track to open (Paul’s choice!). The photos don’t really show the track but you can see the fantastic location. A good time was had walking through the museum and standing on the viewing platform.
We then drove to the Nobbies on the south western edge of the island. Amazing coastline with penguin burrows dotted along the walking tracks),
After Nobbies we drove to Cowes on the north of the island. The town seemed to have everything: beautiful beach, shops and restaurants; although I did not see a Bunnings!
In the evening we drove back towards Nobbies to watch the penguin parade. Wow what an experience. We paid for the Underground Viewing which allowed us to see the penguins at eye level only inches away. It was amazing. They waddled past talking to each other oblivious of us gawking at them, occasionally they would just plonk themselves down for a few minutes. Loved every minute. No photos allowed even without a flash.
We were sorry to leave San Remo and Phillip Island but have to keep on moving! Next stop Tidal River (Wilsons Promontory NP) after which we start heading west towards Adelaide.
It was also the first F1 circuit in OZ from 1929 won by a factory Austin 7
