The popular attraction ‘the Penguin parade’ includes the world’s largest little penguin colony. These penguins are considered as not only the smallest but the cutest penguins in the world. With the arrival of dusk every day, over thousand of these penguins emerge from the ocean to march all the way across the beach until they reach sand dune burrows creating a sight that allures many visitors. To experience this amazing natural phenomenon, there is undoubtedly no better place than the Phillip Island Nature Park.
