Phillip Island is the ideal family destination for those traveling to Australia. Just 90 minutes from Melbourne, it features pristine white beaches, amazing wildlife, and hi-octane motorsports. Wildlife viewing is one of the best treats on the island, where visitors can watch koalas and penguins in their natural habitats. It’s also an excellent place to enjoy the water with several sheltered swimming beaches, a rugged coastline ideal for surfing, incredible fishing hot spots, and even whale watching from May to October. The island’s main attraction in none other than the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit, a picturesque speed track where major motorsport events take place each year, like the MotoGP.
