Where in the world is Mary?: Philip Island and the Penguin Parade (Australia)

Had a nine hour drive today to get to Philip Island (about 140 km south-southeast of Melbourne - pretty much bottom of the world aside from Tasmania and Antartica). Stayed at a lovely B and B. We made it in time to head to the Penguin Parade. The Penguin Parade is one of Australia's most popular wildlife attractions; every sunset, wild little penguins (Little Blue Penguin - stands around 40cm tall (16in) and weighs 1 kg. (2.2 lb) emerge from the sea and waddle across the beach to their sand dune burrows to feed their awaiting chicks. The little penguin is the world's smallest penguin species - there are about 17 different kinds. This event was very cool to watch, some may have been out to sea for as much as 2 or 3 days. Just as the Penguins were coming ashore there appeared a seal diving in and among the Penguins for his/her dinner! Yikes - so close..... Nature truly is amazing!! We were asked not to take pictures as the flash frightens the penguins. Check out the following link if interested.
