Getting Close to Smallest Penguins

We made our next stop at the Nobbies Ocean Discovery Centre. Overlooking Bass Strait, the Nobbies Centre is the home of the interactive Antarctic Journey, along with spectacular clifftop boardwalks and views to the Nobbies and Seal Rocks. Here we explored the boardwalks, from where, if the weather is right, you can see the explosive blowhole in action.

We enjoyed the views out over the Nobbies Rock formations and beyond to Seal Rocks, home of Australia's largest fur seal colony. We got to see the smallest penguins in their little houses and under the boardwalk, staying out of the elements, as it was an overcast and cool day by the time we got to Phillip Island area.

There is free entry to the boardwalks, cafe and gift shop, as well as the interpretive display on penguin conservation on Phillip Island at the entrance to the Antarctic Journey paid attraction.
