Phillip Island. Land of motorbikes and Penguins

The PhillipIsland Circuit (venue for Superbikes and Moto GP) has been copied very meticulously as a go Kart track, one fifth of the size......conditions were wet...and got steadily worse as the race continued. (the children's hands turned blue!)

The real Grand Prix Circuit...we thought of you , Alan!



The calm, after the storm....well for a short time the rain stopped.



There is a strict, NO Photography rule at The Penguin Parade....so did I just ignore this rule?....of course not, I didn't want to upset the penguins, but I didn't mind being naughty in the shop; I took a photo of a photo they had for sale !!
What an amazing sight.....in their little groups...waddling up the beach, inches away from us......even the rain couldn't spoil it. This was one of our highlights!



Cuddling the next best thing....of course they wanted this!!
