Tuesday 4th February - Yanakie to Phillip Island
Weather was a cold 9.0 last night and only 21.9 today. Missing the sunshine. A fairly easy two hour drive to Phillip Island this morning. Lots of different roads with some of them fairly average. Staying at Beach Park in Cowes. Not a bad rate of $37.40 a night. Clive enquired about the Penguins on Parade tour, which we probably won't do now. It's $26.00 per adult but you have to be there around 8pm for a 9pm start. It will be freezing cold and there is an 800m boardwalk to get from the top car park to the seating. This area is huge, so depending on the number of people there depends on how close you are to the front. They have an area at the top that they keep for wheel chair people and those who can't climb steps, so we'd be up the top and at the back anyway. They do have a golf cart for those that can't walk on the boardwalk. Not to worry, Clive bought me a tea towel and magnet.
