After Churchill Island Heritage Farm, we were still early for our Penguin Parade activity. We decided to go to The Nobbies Center. Based on the official website,
The Nobbies Centre, managed by the Phillip Island Nature Park, is the area's newest marine attraction. Discover the secrets of the southern marine environment, view seals, sharks and dolphins via interactive displays & state-of-the-art cameras.The Nobbies Centre is located in an area of spectacular coastal beauty. Also onsite are educational displays about marine life, a café and upstairs function centre.
From Churchill Island Farm, it took around 20 minutes to get to The Nobbies Center

I'm a sucker for magnets. I purchase magnets from almost each place I visit. After checking out the indoor portion of The Nobbies Center, we went out:
Had a great walk around the area with great view of the cliffs!
Have a look! Fur seals from afar!
The Seal Rock Cruise activity will be on the farthest island as seen in the photo above.
