Phillip Island Nature Park (PINP) is a conservation park located on Phillip Island, Victoria, Australia. Created in 1996, the park is owned by the Victorian State Government, however it is a self-funding commercial attraction for the purpose of animal conservation and research.
Located 1.5 hours drive south of Melbourne, PINP covers several separate areas over 1805 hectares. The parks include Pyramid Rock, Rhyll Inlet, Seal Rocks and Cape Woolamai, with specific viewing and attraction areas that include The Nobbies Centre (Seals, Dolphins & Shark viewing), Penguin Parade, Koala Conservation Centre and the Churchill Island Heritage Farm.
Phillip Island’s Penguin Parade is the only commercial venue in the world where you can see Penguins in their own environment.
The Koala Conservation Centre, which is dedicated to koala research and conservation, allows the opportunity to view koalas in their natural habitat on treetop boardwalks.
