Seal Rocks Cruise - Wildlife Coast Cruises in Phillip Island

This is one of the things I am very excited about in this trip -- Seeing wild fur seals up close in their natural habitat! It's just the second day of our Australia trip but I can already summarize what you guys can expect when you go to Australia -- Experiencing animals in the wild, in their natural habitat!

This activity was scheduled on our first day in Australia but because of some delays, we weren't able to make it. Good thing, the management at Wildlife Coast Cruises allowed us to reschedule without any hassles and extra payments. Customer service at its' finest, I believe.

Wild Pelican Feeding - San Remo, VIC Australia (Nr Phillip Island)

One of my favorite foods is a must try in this place! Fish and Chips! Before eating, we went to a nearby gathering where a lady feeds some wild pelicans everyday. The pelicans fly in come 12noon to fill their tummies and fly out again after.

Patiently waiting for the food, here, it's not the early bird who gets the worm but the bigger bird gets the fish!

Silverwater Resort, San Remo - Phillip Island, VIC Australia

This was our first lodging for the trip. A couple of minutes drive away from the world renowned Penguin Parade in Phillip Island, Silverwater Resort in San Remo, Phillip Island is one of the best stays I had in my entire life. The place was just awesome! Too bad we spent less than 8 hours here because of our jampacked schedule.

 We arrived late at night already. Around 10pm I think.That's me in the car and some are checking-in as seen in the photo.
