      On day two we say goodbye to the Great Ocean Road beginning with a ferry trip across Port Phillip Bay. On arrival, we then journey along the coastlines of the Mornington Peninsula stopping at a beautiful beach to see the iconic colourful bathing boxes. We then travel to Phillip Island stopping on route to an Animal Wildlife Park for some up-close views of our unique Australian Wildlife. Once arriving on Phillip Island, we visit the Nobbies Centre to take in some rugged coastal scenery and wildlife spotting before arriving at the award-winning Phillip Island Penguin Parade.
