esCarpade 2016 - Day 4 - Phillip Island Penguins

Dinner on the rest day was out at the Penguin centre on Phillip Island...

On the way there, the boys passed this beasty camper...

Not to mention this sweet Ford panel van.

 



Heading to dinner, was just like following route notes!!

Nobbies Centre for dinner...

Damian clowning around for the day's selfie...

These dopey birds just wander onto the road...

Then stood there while Damian yelled "Get out of the way, dopey!!" much to the amusement of a tourist standing nearby...

Parked ready for dinner...

Getting crowded!!

A penguin under the board walk...

Peekaboo!!

Sunset...

Same penguin, different angle...

Bill and Carmel from Car 99 needed a lift to the penguin show, so they bundled into the back of Booger Mobile...

The "alternate route" to the penguin show was a gravel track that hugged the coastline... spectacular scenery and well worth the time to do!!

Happy in the service!!

Damian cracking up at Carmel in the back seat...

Bill in the mirror...

Penguins ahead!!

Ready for the penguin show... they would walk right up that path!!

Unfortunately, once the show starts, photography is not allowed...

Damian and Johnny from Car 50...

Nearly time for the penguins!!

The official esCarpade photographers copping it from a ranger!!  No photos!!

Damian and videographer Stef being photo-bombed by Adam!!

Sneaky shot of the penguins after the penguin show, back up at the main building - they were getting ready to cross the walkway...

Inside the display centre...

And a scary, large shark!! 

All in all, the penguin show was pretty good...  Hilarious watching them waddle up the beach at surprising speeds, then face-planting after tripping over a rock, their feet, each other or sometimes absolutely nothing!!
