Puffing Billy Railway. Puffing Billy is one of the oldest steam trains in
Australia. Ride the train through the lush Dandenong Ranges.
Travel to MARU Wildlife Park to see Australia's unique animals such as
kangaroos, koalas, and emus. You can also feed kangaroos and parrots, observe

no refund will be provided.)
Finally, head to Phillip Island to watch the Penguin Parade. The Penguin
Parade Nature Reserve is currently the world's largest wild penguin sanctuary,
with over 30,000 penguins inhabiting Phillip Island. They are the world's
smallest fairy penguins, standing about 30 to 40 cm tall and weighing only
about 1 kg. After sunset, they swim back to the shore from the sea and waddle
in lines back to their nests. This magnificent migration is known as the
Penguin Parade! You, along with travelers from all over the world, will be
guided by staff to sit in the open-air viewing stands built along the coast to
wait for the penguins to return.

The price of the package is ridiculous with the experience got. The guide cum driver was not what was expected. No stop for lunch or dinner, tour start at 10am and end at 10pm.
