The viewing spot at the Port Campbell National Park provides a spectacular view of the Apostles standing tall over the Southern Ocean as far as you can see..
The Twelve Apostles, at the Port Campbell National Park, is a collection of limestone stacks off the shore. These apostles were formed by erosion: the harsh and extreme weather conditions from the Southern Ocean gradually eroded the soft limestone to form caves in the cliffs, further modified to arches, which in turn collapsed; leaving rock stacks up to 50 meters high. Besides them, they are surrounded by cliffs of around 70 meters high... It is known that as of today only 8 of them are standing while others have fallen down.

The view is indeed another spectacle of Nature.

Indeed a Once in a Lifetime Experience

Some moments in our lives are simply unforgettable. For me, it was my visit to watch Penguin Parade. Photography not allowed there and so here is a link where you can watch - what I have eye-witnessed..

After a mesmerizing journey on the coast of Pacific, you arrive at Penguin Parade, Philip Island. You get to see here the smallest Penguins of the World in their natural habitat returning to their homes. The flocks head out for fishing during the day and as night falls, it's time for them to return home. The site of 1000's of Penguins coming out of the ocean with their silvery slimy bodies, walking on their legs (dug dug.. dug dug) and approaching towards you, will simply leave you speechless. And as penguins come towards you and walk under the bridge that you are standing on, that moment you will feel and wish, the time just stops.

The organization has prepared 1000's of wooden burrows on the uphill to protect these little creatures from being eaten away.

Penguin Parade is indeed once in a lifetime experience. And if you are visiting Melbourne, Australia, it is a MUST.
*Photography is strictly prohibited in this place (except if you have prior permissions and you are a professional photographer)

As I feel grieved about the Australian Bush Fires, I would like to post that I was overwhelmed on my visit to Melbourne. Australians ways and their love for animal species conservation have left me impressed. One such tribute is to the Koala species facing dangers of fires at the Moment.

On Philip Island, at the Koala Conservation Centre, one gets the chance to see these species from close. The Koala Conservation Centre is an ecotourism attraction and has played a key role in saving the population of koalas on Phillip Island as well as the natural bush surroundings There is now a special koala breeding program in place here, as conservation efforts ramp up to keep the population of these special creatures on the rise.

There are a few boardwalks in the Conservation Centre which allow you to have a different point to view the koalas at. Unlike a zoo, the koalas here live in the wild, making their homes in eucalypt forests and the surrounding wetlands. There are also plenty of other animals to spot here like wallabies, possums, echidnas, and snakes.

See this little creature climbing up the narrow twigs to fetch the leaves for his food.

It was really hard for me to believe an infrastructure, a modification of an entire village at that scale into something that will make India top the chart in terms of not only the tallest statue of the world but also the highest number of visitors visiting the statue in a year's time. But certainly 'Statue of Unity' project by the government should indeed make every Indian proud.
A must visit place when you are planning either your trip in India or visiting India from abroad.
Did you know the statue of unity is entirely made of iron with a bronze coating. Due to a natural aging process the statue will turn into green colour over a period of 100 years. With the height of 182 meters, it’s the world’s largest statue, earthquake resistant, built in 3.5 years, with excellent views around the Narmada dam and river island, offers a history museum, food court and many adventure sports in and around the town of Kevadia, Gujarat.
Must visit..
