Finally, pics from Phillips Island, very rural area south of Melbourne full of seals and Blue Penguins. We watched hundreds of these little penguins waddle up from the beach to return to their burros at nightfall. We were not permitted to take pictures, the flash startles them. They were adorable, about the size of bowling pins, coming ashore after the threat of getting picked off by a bird of prey. They would waddle, run,waddle, run just talking up a storm the whole time! I had the best time experiencing this!!
