Next along the road was Phillip Island where i stopped at New Haven Jetty then headed out to Pyramid Rock.

I headed out to the blowhole for a look ... its been a while since i was on Phillip island [45 years or so] and boy hasn't it become built up, commercialised and restricted with "centres" everywhere just like the Cape Barren Goose, they are everywhere also.
The flat ocean wasn't doing the blowhole any favours though.
The Penguin Parade used to be a sit down on the ground and watch the penguins waddle past you type deal but now you sit in a grandstand and are not allowed to take pics ... that did it for me and i just couldn't wait to get off the Island ... after picking up a Pizza and scoffing the lot at the Cowes Jetty.

Thursday 26-5-22:

Woke to the pitter patter of rain on the canopy and with a 7 day forecast showing 95 percent chance of rain along the southern coast i decided to head away from the coast and drove right through Melbourne city to visit The Organ Pipes NP ... strange thing was that the roads were really quiet all the way through ... the other strange thing was i did not recognise any thing at all on the drive, i guess it has been over 40 years since i lived there.

I headed in to The Organ Pipes NP for a look around.

Just up the creek was "Rosette Rock"



Further on was another weird shaped rock.



A bit further again was the "Tessellated Pavement"

[Big Red]

Heading up the highway i spotted a sign to Hanging Rock so dropped in there for a look around.
