Phillip Island is the home of the worlds biggest Penguin colony and the Penguin parade is one of the  great tourist attractions in Victoria. Happens everyday at sunset. It’s about 2hrs outta Melbourne

Have you ever gone to see them in person?

Yes twice, once with my family when I was very young and another was on camp in primary school or elementary school as you call it over there. My own kids have been there on school camp as well so have never felt the need to take them. As cool as it is you only need to see them once unless you’re holidaying down there which a lot of people do.

Yeah, not sure I'd want to see them EVERY DAY. I've smelled penguin displays at aquariums and sea parks before... once is enough for those displays.
