Descrição
A Phillip Island boat birding trip is a 'must-do' if tours are available. Flocks of seabirds fly close overhead or roost on the Island cliffs.
Phillip Island is located 6 km south of Kingston Pier. Birds to be seen include Black-winged Petrel, Grey Ternlet, Black Noddy and Red-tailed Tropicbird.
From Wikipedia - see link: Phillip Island has an area of 190 hectares (470 acres), measuring 2.1 km (1.3 mi) from west to east and 1.95 km (1.21 mi) from north to south, with the highest point, Jacky Jacky, being 280 m (920 ft) above sea level.
It is roughly shaped like a hairdryer with the nozzle pointing east. The island is of volcanic origin, made of basaltic tuff and lava dating from the Miocene epoch.
