Fairy Penguins of Phillip Island, Australia

Fairy Penguins of Phillip Island, Australia

Fairy Penguins are possibly the CUTEST of all penguins. It seems like a century ago now, but way, way back in 1990 Mark and I backpacked through Australia. While there, we saw the fairy penguins of Phillip Island. We spent a month backpacking, hitchhiking and camping out along the coastal fringe of Australia. We traveled from Sydney to Adelaide and Kangaroo Island, and then back across Barossa Valley wine country to Canberra and north to Cairns.

Australia – Adventure of a Lifetime

Australia – Adventure of a Lifetime

One of the most spectacular vacations of our lives happened Australia. It was 1990, and Mark and I decided to backpack up the east coast of Australia. We landed in Melbourne, hitchhiked to Adelaide, visited the oldest mountains in the world, the Flinders Ranges, then crossed over to Sydney, and headed up the coast where we ended our extravaganza with a dive adventure to the Coral Sea and Great Barrier Reef on Mike Ball’s Spoilsport.
