While the tradition of Australian winemaking is a relatively recent one, dating back just two hundred years, the Australian wine industry has swiftly risen to become a prominent player on the global stage. Celebrated worldwide for its quality and innovation, Australia controls only four percent of the world’s wine production, yet ranks as the fourth-largest wine exporter. Australian wines, recognized for their quality and affordability, have found their way into over a hundred countries across the globe.

For those with a penchant for animals and nature, we highly recommend a trip to Phillip Island, located 140 miles southeast of Melbourne. The island, measuring 26 inches in length and 9 kilometers in width, boasts a remarkable 97 kilometers of coastline. Named after Arthur Phillip, the First Governor of New South Wales, the island is connected to the coastal town of San Remo via the Newhaven Bridge. Each year, Phillip Island welcomes more than 3.5 million tourists.

One of the island’s most captivating attractions is The Nobbies Nature Park. Here, visitors are treated to a unique spectacle as little penguins emerge from the sea at dusk and parade across the beach to their sand dune burrows where they rest. These small penguins are a special breed, recognized as the smallest penguins in the world. Despite their diminutive size, they can dive to depths of up to 69 meters—an impressive feat. The sight of these penguins making their nightly procession is truly a marvel and one of Australia’s most famous attractions.

Other highlights on Phillip Island include the Phillip Island Circuit, renowned for hosting international motorcycle and car racing festivals from January to October. Families visiting the island will delight in A Maze N Things, an amusement park that promises a day filled with fun and laughter.

Don’t miss out on the Phillip Island Chocolate Factory, Koala Conservation Centre, and San Remo Pelican Feeding—an array of experiences that will leave you with lasting memories.

The perfect way to begin or conclude your adventure on Phillip Island is with a wine tasting at the Purple Hen Winery, rounding out your visit in style.
