& Phillip Island

BThe Bass Coast and Phillip Island are rich in diversity and offer their own unique take on Australia’s coastal regions. The area boasts isolated beaches, lush farmlands, historical landmarks and much more. Whether it’s a romantic weekend for two or a fun filled family holiday you’re after, Bass Coast and Phillip Island has it all! Showcasing a number of towns along the coast, such as Cowes, San Remo, Newhaven and Inverloch, most are within an easy two hour drive south east of Melbourne.

Phillip Island offers a wide range of entertainment, shopping, restaurants, craft centres and sporting facilities. Surfing enthusiasts can enjoy surfing along the rugged southern coastline which faces Bass Strait or families looking for safe swimming areas can head for the protected northern beaches nestled into Western Port.

For those who would like to take in the scenery, there are 15 walking tracks on and around Phillip Island ranging in distance and difficulty. These tracks are well defined and will take you to many interesting places not accessible by car.

Just off Phillip Island lies Churchill Island. The island marks the first European settlement in Victoria and, today, visitors can see remnants of its pioneering days in its restored cottages. The tiny island can be walked or

cycled and every fourth Saturday of the month it holds a farmers’ market. Make sure you check out the visitor centre for information and refreshments.

Board the Wildlife Coast Cruises for a seal watching cruise to one of Australia’s most unique natural experiences. Be enthralled at the sight and sound of fur seals at Seal Rocks in Bass Strait.

For a host of unique, interactive and stimulating activities that appeal to adults and children don’t miss the award winning theme park A Maze ’N Things. It is a bizarre world of illusions, puzzles, mazes and mini golf that provides fun and entertainment for everyone.

Tourism boomed in the late 1920s when an access track to the penguin colony was built. Every evening at dusk delighted visitors watch the world’s smallest penguins as they gather in small groups at the water’s edge and then set off across the beach to their burrows in the dunes.

Don’t forget to visit some of the quaint townships situated along the Bass Coast to explore all that this beautiful region has to offer.

Phillip IslandA guide to

Phillip Island is a picturesque getaway that boasts plenty to see and do.

TOURS & SIGHTSEEINGExceptional Phillip Island Area Tours can take you on small group tours and sightseeing across the whole region, as far afield as Wilsons Promontory. If you want to get off the beaten track and enjoy hidden gems, meet artists and provedores, or simply learn more about the area join a local Exceptional guide.

Wildlife Coast Cruises has over twenty years’ experience operating cruises around the waters in the region. Get up close to a diverse array of marine life and view amazing coastal scenery on cruises that include Seal Watching, Twilight Bay Cruises, Lunch Cruises, Winter Whale Cruises and more.

Koala Conservation Centre, located at 1810 Phillip Island Road, allows visitors to view koalas in their natural environment from treetop boardwalks that wind through eucalypt woodland.

WALK AND CYCLEWith 100 kilometres of coastline and more than a quarter of the island conserved for the environment, Phillip Island’s walking and cycling tracks are a well-kept secret. Merely following your nose to any compass point on the island will lead to a delightful stroll or a more challenging hike or ride. However there are many designated tracks that will reveal a different face of Phillip Island, its flora and fauna. Try these suggested tracks:

Penguin Parade – A cycle or one-hour walk from the Penguin Parade to the carpark at Point Grant. This walk takes you south west along a small unsealed road where spectacular coastal views can be observed. Bush to Bay – This cycle/walk takes you from the Koala Conservation Centre to Rhyll. This track combines the Oswin Roberts Reserve tracks and the Conservation Hill and Rhyll Inlet tracks. The approximate length of this walk is seven kilometres one way.

Churchill Island – There is a five kilometre walking track around the island which will take around two hours. The North Point Loop, which is two kilometres, will take approximately one hour. Both tracks can be cycled.

HEALTH AND WELLBEINGEscape the daily grind and give your body time to relax and revitalise on Phillip Island with a number of rejuvenation options. Phillip Island’s personal health service industry provides a wide range of services.

With a pristine natural environment to work-out in, Phillip Island also has day spa facilities and beauty services where one can escape to relax and recharge. The region’s relaxed pace and fresh sea air makes it a perfect getaway to focus on your wellbeing.

FOOD AND WINEPhillip Island’s fresh air and outdoor lifestyle has pleasurable side effects. Like inducing a ravenous appetite, an appreciation of fine wine and an excuse to sleep in or laze around. There’s nothing better than quality places to eat, drink and unwind.

Scattered about the island are restaurants and cafés galore. They’re often in the most idyllic and unlikely spots: beside farmland with grazing Highland cattle, on balconies overlooking Western Port, amid the bustle of main streets and laid out along the foreshore of seaside villages.

The Island’s cool climate, rich volcanic soil and moderating influence of the sea coalesce into excellent wine producing country. The quality of wine is clear from the consistently good performances of the island’s wineries and, off the island, Southern Gippsland is developing a strong reputation for the production of high quality cool-climate wines. Follow the grape signs marking out the Southern Gippsland Wine Trail to indulge in the area’s specialties.
