🇦🇺Australia-exclusive Penguin Homecoming Spectacular🐧

The Penguin Parade on Melbourne Phillip Island is a famous Australian attraction located on Phillip Island. 🐧🌊I visited in early March and the weather was sunny and warm ☀️The total length of the island's coastline is about 101 kilometers, and the penguin parade is the highlight! ✨

Penguin Parade is a natural wonder where little penguins return home from the sea every night. In March, it starts at around 8 o'clock every day after sunset. The time varies slightly with the season🏡 The process is really super cute 😍! In fact, there are different times and numbers every day (from dozens to hundreds). I saw 5-6 groups that day, and 1 group had 5-10 🐧🥹✨So cute! When they return 🐟 after a whole day of fishing at sea, they need to walk back slowly 🥲. On the way, there are often seagulls blocking 🐦, standing there and hindering their progress. The penguins sometimes had a hard time walking, but were frightened by the seagulls and had no choice but to turn around and run away🥹🥹

There is an indoor exhibition hall 🏫 next to it, which displays penguin ecology, models and videos, and also introduces the conservation work of the Penguin Foundation, such as the "Knits for Nature" program, which uses sweaters to protect penguins 🧶, as well as information about other animals on the island such as koalas 🐨 and seals 🦭. There is also a souvenir shop in the exhibition hall, selling super cute penguin dolls and related products!
