Penguins 🐧

 Phillip Island Penguin Parade

Day 2 continues

Sighting the penguins

First penguin sighting in the burrow 

 On 12/29/2023 we did the morning walking tour. In the afternoon we boarded our coach for a ride to Phillip Island for the Penguin parade. On the way, our bus driver stopped at a couple points of interest. Pyramid Rock was a great vista!

And another stop, the driver was quite chuffed with his driveover of the cone and circled the driveway to view his handiwork! 🤣

Pause

 I had good intentions to keep posting every day but we have truly been busy and GOING! I will keep telling you about my travels but this evening I wanted to check in as so many of my new found travelers are checking out. I wanted to enjoy so many memories this trip and be in the moment-not consumed with social media. I’m glad I came on this trip and it definitely has been a wonderful experience. 

Koalas sleep 20 hours a day! 🐨

The Shrine

 In Melbourne on the city walking tour we went to the Shrine. Not a temple like I was thinking. It was a memorial to their service personnel from the wars. 

The motto “greater love hath no man”. I think this is a compelling statement. The Australians are referring to their country.  It is a high price  

  It reminded me of John 15:13. And John 3:16  No greater love had our Savior when Jesus came to earth as a babe and grew to be our ultimate sacrifice on the cross.
