Phillip Island was a wonderful place. Our first trip was Churchill Island where we saw farm animals, kitchen gardens and cute little old houses. Next stop was the Koala Conservation Center where we saw koalas, wallabies and different kind of birds. I really liked the park because it was animal friendly; it had huge space for the animals to move on and the fact that they only had native animals in their natural habitat. Last but certainly not least, we saw one of the cutest animals in the world, the little penguin emerge from the sea and waddle ashore to their sand dune burrows (we weren't allowed to take pictures of the penguins coming up the water so I downloaded a picture from the net so I can show you how cute they are). To have the opportunity to see wild animals in their natural environment then caged up at zoos, is a huge satisfaction for me.
On Tuesday, Rita took us to Warburton, a mountain with beautiful fern tree forest (looked like Jurassic park forest). We even had the chance to see the rare and shy Lyrebird running around the road (see picture above). I also ate the best cup cake in the world at Warburton; caramel muffin with chocolate chips in it, yummy! So I am definitely going back there to svulla some more =) Later that day we had birthday dinner with Phillips unkle at a restaurant with the best calamari rings. What would life be without delicious food?!
On Wednesday, I showed Miljana the last part of the city, the parks, Yarra river and the pub.
Thursday and Friday had real beach weather, so we spent the days on St Kilda beach and on some other beach I cant remember the name of. Perfect ending on Miljanas holiday. She left for Sweden yesterday night, so she should be home later today. I hope she enjoyed the stay here and that she absorbed as much sun as she possible could to survive the last dark weeks in Sweden.
