We are going to Philip Island this saturday. It is an outing for CMYF. If you had never been to CMYF before, you can have a look at the introduction below about how does Philip island looks like and what you can do in Philip island.
Philip Island is popular with penguins. The smallest (and cutest) penguin in the world, the Little Penguin is around 33 centimetres tall with adults weighing just over 1 kilogram. The Little Penguin is the only blue feathered penguin in the world and will typically live for 7 years . The scientific name of the Little Penguin, Eudyptula minor means 'good little diver'. They can dive up to 69 metres, making on average 700 dives a day to search for fish, squid or krill.
Native to Phillip Island, the Little Penguins make the sand dune burrows on the Summerlands Peninsula their home. They start their day very early – leaving their burrows at first light to go fishing in the sea. At sunset, the magic of the Penguin Parade begins as the Little Penguins emerge from the sea and march in groups across the beach to their burrows.
