Description

Depart mid-morning and settle in for a coastal day along the Bunurong cliffs and Phillip Island. Stop for lunch in town and choose a relaxed bite by the water. Wander local shops and ease into the seaside rhythm before the coast drive. Browse hands-on displays and coastal stories at the Bunurong Environment Centre. Get your bearings on geology, wildlife, and sea life. Stand where fossils were found at the Dinosaur Dreaming site and scan the rock shelves, imagining this coast 115 million years ago. Trace the tale of the 1863 barque Amazon at the Amazon Shipwreck Site. Watch waves sweep the reef where her journey ended. Take in the signature lookout at Eagles Nest and feel the breeze at the cliff edge over Bunurong Marine Park. Link a string of ocean lookouts and rock formations on the Bunurong Coastal Drive. See color shift across headlands and coves. Pause for a photo at the historic timber trestle as the surf thrums beneath the span. Stroll boardwalks to cliff-top viewpoints at The Nobbies on Phillip Island. Watch the Bass Strait swell and the blowhole near Seal Rocks. Settle into your vantage point as little penguins waddle ashore at dusk. Savour the hush and tiny footsteps. Travel back in comfort and arrive in Melbourne between 9:30 PM–11:30 PM, with coastal sunsets and penguins still fresh in mind.
