Stillwater Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 My last flight took me to Leongatha, and from there it is not far to come back into my own footsteps. Heading west ... ... towards Philip Island with its lovely little airstrip... ... and the museum. Not much time to spend, as it was already dawning, so we took off... ... headed across the Philip Island Race Course... ... towards Penguin Beach. I have been there in 2003. Time flies, in contrast to some birds. These make landfall every evening. Not sure if this PenguinFlow needs to be seen from an airliner - but isn´t it the same with any NatureFlow? We went on to Mornington Peninsula... ... followed one of Hendriks ships heading out of Port Philipp Bay... ... and turned just left to Point Nepean Airstrip for the night.

Jack Sawyer Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Brilliant flight and narration Gerold! That scenery is beautiful. And my wife loves penguins, she even sleeps with a stuffed one. Really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Wonderful images Gerold. I used to spend a lot of time on Philip Island when my brother had a holiday home there, loved the place. You have been to the Penguin Parade since me and I hope you enjoyed it as much as me. Some sad news though as last night some yobs broke into the Zoo near to where I live and threw a Penguin into the tiger enclosure. All ended happily as the tiger couldn't get the wrapper off.

And who doesn't like Happy Feet? Little tuxedo clad birds, who wouldn't love 'em? My wife loves them so much when she was a kid she wanted one to keep in the freezer so it would have cold weather . We have tons of stuffed penguins, figurines, photos, you name it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
