May 25 - the penguin parade at Philip Island

Kicked off the morning with a brisk run down the Melbourne harbor. Of course with the obligatory photo stops.

Then stopped by a farm where there was whip cracking, share shearing and sheep herding demos - a good dose of farm realties. 


Followed by the koala conservation center , spotted some koalas lasting around on eucalyptus trees digesting off their meals. How cute they looked


If I don't have any proof - did it even happen? No pictures allowed but it was as real as anything I've seen. Flocks of blue penguins, a little bigger than a rabbit, swam out of the ocean at sunset after a log day at work , shook the excess water off their ruffled waterproof feathers and waddled their way to their burrows in groups based on he neighborhoods they were living in. Some even waited at the entrance of their burrows for their partners to join them. What a loyal, hardworking , good looking bunch. Not to mention a curious bunch - they stared straight back at us human forms staring at them with mouths open in wonder. Am sure they were thinking - didn't three humans have to go to work, earn their food, feed their little ones and get some rat for tomorrow too? Silly humans!!
