On the way to Phillip Island I stopped at the Koala conservation center to see one of Australia's most famous marsupials up close.

The penguin parade was incredible! We weren't allowed to take photos of the penguins as they came ashore (so as to not scare them with flashes), however, here's a picture from their website.

Now that I've had some time to get settled in and have some fun around Melbourne it's time to get down to business.

Tomorrow I head south of Melbourne to meet with a local seadragon expert and hopefully get in my first dive.

Here's hoping my next post will be about my first seadragon sighting!

Cheers,
Jeremy
