Day tour to Philip Island in scorching heat

we booked a day tour to Philip Island. I was quite reluctant to go out in the scorching 40+++ deg heat.

While waiting for the tour bus, I took photo of the town hall

Another view of the town hall


On the way to the island, we stopped over at a farm to visit some of the animals. My camera was burning hot after a few minutes. So scary. We got baked even in shades.

wallaby. Btw, how do we differenciate wallaby and kangaroo?? they looked the same to me.. haha


Feeding the wallabies


Little pony? I think.. haha..


After that, our driver cum guide took us to a beach. We are supposed to stop here for one hour.. The angmohs are thrilled. I can't say the same for us.. haha.. we hid at the shade and view the beach from far. I can't figure out how they can manage to walk to the beach in such scorching heat. :S


Our view from the shade.. haha.. it's good enough for me.. i'm not that crazy to walk in such heat.. lol


At another stop at the Pyramid rock (thank goodness i took pix of most of the sign at all the stops. my brain couldn't function well after being fried by the heat for so long :P)


At nobbies centre to view penguin burrow. We are not allowed to take pix at the penguin parade, so this is a good chance to take pix of the burrow and guess wat? We spotted the bb penguin!! so happy..! it looks so cute!!


See how many shadows surrounding the bb penguin.. haha.. the bb is so brave! totally undaunted with the crowd!


walking along the boardwalk at nobbies centre


another cute bb penguin! so fluffy.. lol


Seagull .. admiring the view? lol


The boardwalk, we could see penguin burrow along the way


The end of the walk, we gotta turn back at this point
