Introducing Phillip Island
This small island was originally settled by the Boonwurrung people, who are probably the only people in history not to have attended the island’s penguin parade. Instead they came for the diet of seafood and short-tailed shearwaters, both of which can still be seen on the island.

Today the island revs up for the Motorcycle Grand Prix and is a popular summer getaway, when the population more than quadruples. Excellent beaches, from the wild surf at Woolamai to sheltered bay beaches on the north side, have something for the whole family.
