After Wilson's Prom, we drove out to Phillip Island to meet up with Lee for the last few days. We went out for dinner at a great Tex Mex place (which had two Calgary Stampede posters), went to the famous "Penguin Parade" where little penguins, a species of penguin only found in the Southern hemisphere, come in from their daily activities in the ocean to make it to their burrows at sunset. Unfortunately, couldn't take any photographs of the penguin parade, but they were so funny to watch waddle up onto the beach and into their burrows. We even saw 2 penguins mating on their way up, pretty crazy stuff. The next morning we went to the Koala Park on the island, a conservation and research centre for the preservation of koalas. Not only did we see koalas, but wallabies as well, one of which hopped right towards Lee scaring the crap out of her. We also saw one koala climb down a tree, something you won't see that often (they're not very energetic based on their food intake; apparently the eucalyptus they consume is equal to the energy we receive from a bowl of cereal). Afterwards, we had lunch and drove home.
