All good at the island weather good.. penguins last night where very good saw heaps kids had a ball looking at them comming up beach in there 100s i think the count might before was 2500 leaving tomoz full report on this park and trip when i get home ......giddy up !
My parents had a beach house at Philip Island when I was a kid and I spent the majority of my youth on the Island. Whats now the Penguin Parade was only Summerland Beach back then with some concrete steps on the dunes for a few tourists at dusk. We used to surf at the beach during the day and wander to the iceream shop along the paths, sharing the beach and the paths with the penguins.

The penguins were just the little dudes in the tuxedos that we shared the beach and paths with. We would occasionally share the surf with the little guys late in a afternoon

Amazing how times have changed in a relatively short period .... sad that in such a short time we (humans) now can not be trusted to be anywhere near the penguins and have to be segregated from little creatures, and everything has to turned into a manufactured expensive tourist extravaganza.

(Penguins are my favorite animals)

Heading off to Inverloch (no van though).We've decided to leave today seeing as lm rostered on long weekend. Managed to get bball team commitments covered for domestic and rep.

Oh, the other major thing happening next weekend is American College Bball scout tryouts for my eldest boy. Proud parents the Paces are.

Be safe everyone.

So, for all you out there wondering how the above went, he got in. A offer for a placement to go to the States has been presented. It has taken us by shock, though really proud of his achievement and this once in a lifetime dream to come true.

Pace.
