7 Who can resist the nightly parade of cute little penguins waddling from the ocean and

into their sandy burrows? Not the 3 million-plus tourists who visit Phillip Island ( Click

fabulous surf beaches, wildlife parks, a MotoGP circuit that will satisfy revheads even
when there's no racing on, and loads of things to keep kids busy. For something different,
make the short ferry trip to French Island ( Click here ).
