Crossing the bridge onto Phillip Island. We found a holiday park in Cowes on the island where we camped overnight. After missing the Penguin Parade the previous night we decided to visit the Koala Conservation Centre.
In the first section there were quite a few Koalas but they were really high up in the trees and i had to zoom all the way to try and get a photo of them.
But then we moved into the next sanctuary and there was a Koala sitting in a tree about an arms width away, and even more importantly it was awake! Koalas sleep for 20 hours a day so to actually see one moving around and eating eucalyptus so close to us was amazing.
We then did the woodland walk to try and capture a glimpse of other native Australian animals. We were quite lucky and saw a couple of swamp wallabies and also an echidna.
And also of course, a kookaburra! One of my favourite birds due to the fluff and the cuteness.
