awu45:“This is a really underestimated treasure attraction. It seems to be just a side project of a one-day tour of Melbourne attractions, but it far exceeds expectations! 🏝️ Attractions: Nobbies Point is located at the southwest end of Phillip Island. It is famous for its wild waves, spectacular cliff walks and Australia's largest seal colony habitat, Seal Rocks. You can see more than 6,000 seals lazily resting (unfortunately we went at the wrong time and didn't see this spectacular view. The breeding season is generally the most intensive from October to December). The wooden boardwalk winds along the coastline. At sunset, the golden afterglow sprinkles on the sea, and the scenery is like an oil painting. Although I didn't see groups of seals 🦭, I can still see a lot of wild kangaroos 🦘, little penguins 🐧, grey geese 🦢... etc. here. The children followed the car all the way to "search for treasures". Every time they saw 👀 small wild animals, they would be accompanied by their surprise screams 🙀! Full of experience [Send Stars] 🚗 Transportation Guide: Driving from Melbourne for about 2 hours, take the M1 Expressway to A420 to Phillip Island, and the Nobbies Point Central Parking Lot is free. Those who can't drive can take a one-day tour - the most classic is the morning train, the koala zoo at noon, Nobbies Point in the afternoon, and the penguin parade in the evening (usually including pick-up and drop-off, available on major platforms, excluding meals), or take the train to Docklands and transfer to the bus. 🥗 Dining Recommendations: 1️⃣ Thai on Island: Authentic Thai food in the alleys by the beach, more in line with the Chinese taste of sweet and sour taste. 2️⃣ Cape Kitchen: Sea view restaurant, mainly Australian style, recommend local wine with seafood platter. 3️⃣ Rusty Water Brewery: Home-brewed beer with seasonal ingredients, live music on Fridays. 4️⃣ Ming Lock Chinese Restaurant: A Chinese fusion restaurant with a variety of classic Chinese stir-fried dishes that can satisfy most tourists with Chinese stomachs. 5️⃣ San Remo Fishermans Co-Op: A seafood restaurant by the pier, with a pelican feeding show at 12 noon. [Love] Tips: 1️⃣ The sea breeze is very strong at night, so remember to prepare a windproof and warm jacket. If you really forget to bring it, you can buy a coral fleece cape in a store on the side while dining in the town! 2️⃣ Self-driving tours can also visit Smith Beach, a surfing resort on Phillip Island, or participate in the evening penguin parade. If you follow a group, the beach next to the town is also good for stepping on the waves 🌊, playing with seagulls 🦤, and playing with sand 🏖️! (The supporting shops next to it can basically meet the related shopping services for eating, drinking and having fun).”
