Australian Wildlife

Some of the "wildlife" in Australia we haven't been so excited to see (i.e. flies), but koalas and penguins are a different story. So once we got back to Melbourne, we headed to Phillip Island the next day.

We stayed at Cater's friend's parents' place, which had an amazing view of the water 

Staying one with nature, we spent some time staring at and taking pictures of these colorful--and apparently typical--birds in the tree right next to the porch. Then we told ourselves to stop being like our birder friend Adam.

But still we went to see the Penguin Parade. Baby penguins wait for their parents to come back from the ocean at dusk with food.

The next day, we went to Wooloomai Beach and after some initial fussing, Simba stared at the waves for more than an hour.

We stopped for food in Oakleigh on the way back from the beach. Melbourne supposedly has the largest number of Greeks outside of Greece. The food totally tastes like it! One of our favorite meals in Melbourne.
