About the Activity

Come and experience the best of Phillip Island. Visit a working heritage farm on Churchill Island, see the spectacular view from the Nobbies Lookout, then watch the famous Penguin Parade at sunset. What a delight! You will be picked up in air conditioned comfort by an English speaking guide for this small group tour. Visit Churchill Island Farm, an historic homestead and a working heritage farm that dates back to 1872. Try your hand a milking a cow or cracking a stockwhip, watch a sheep get shorn, and enjoy seeing the incredibly preserved historic buildings displaying how life was lived back in 1872. Take in the spectacular view from The Nobbies Lookout, you may even spot Australia's largest colony of Fur Seals at Seal Rock. Then just before dusk we make our way to the home to the largest Little Penguin colony in the world, where you will see the penguins roll in from the surf at sunset and make their way waddling across the sand into their burrows for the night.
