S and I took have been discussing getting away from it all for some time, so last week we took some annual leave and headed for Phillip Island. With the help of some friends, we were able to rent a house no further than 300 metres from the beach at Cowes, so every night we were lulled to sleep by the waves. We stayed there for five nights. It was an enjoyable time spent walking and driving about, doing tourist type things, and basically just relaxing.
Here are some photos I took. Unfortunately, I wasn't allowed to take photos at the Penguin Parade, but you can see some here.
Nobbies where you can see seals, birdlife, the blowhole and some spectacular scenery.
A koala at the Koala Conservation park. This park was set up to preserve and study the island's population of koalas. It has boardwalks where you can get up to the koala's level, and they are so close you can almost touch them.
A wallaby spotted in the bush on the way to Swan Lake, Phillip Island's largest fresh water lake.
Sunset on the beach at Cowes.
Sunset a little further along the beach at Cowes.
Seagull on an overcast and very blustery day.

The photos are wonderful, Pete. Glad you both had a wonderful and relaxed time.
Thank you.
It was one of those holidays that you didn't realise you really needed until you had it, if you can understand that.
I agree, the photos certainly are beautiful. Glad you had such a great time. Wayne collected the keys etc. from us tonight and I told him you'd had a good time. He said 'any time - just let me know'. So, make arrangements for some more time off work, you two!
