Phillip Island, Victoria, Australia, is only 140 kilometres south-east of Melbourne. The route is simple and direct with no difficult turns or small streets. It is very well signposted along the entire journey. Most of the drive is on recently completed divided road, with two lanes in each direction for your comfort and safety. George Bass first discovered Phillip Island when he entered Westernport Bay in January of 1798. However long before this it had for thousands of years been part of the lands visited by the Bunurong people, the coastal to inland indigenous people of Australia.

Bass returned with Matthew Flinders later in 1798, landing at Rhyll on Phillip Island. It was George Bass called it "Snapper Island", and a memorial to this landing is maintained just near the pier in Rhyll. It's well worth a visit! In the early 1800's it received its current name of Phillip Island after the then colonial Governor. However it wasn't until the 1840's that the McHaffie family, the first permanent settlers, took up residence with a pastoral lease that covered the entire island. By the 1870's more than a 160 settlers were calling Phillip Island home. 130 years later and the population is now approximately 7500 permanent residents.

Phillip Island grown and prospered in the 200 years since it was first discovered by Europeans. The Little Penguins (fairy penguins) who are native to Phillip Island were soon also bringing in many thousands of tourists to watch their nightly return from the sea. It became the home of the Australian Grand Prix for cars in 1928 and later the place where the Armstrong 500, the forerunner to the Bathurst 1000 would be held. To protect and promote the Island's natural wonders and wildlife, the Phillip Island Nature Park was formed in the late 1990's, combining the resources and management of the Penguin Parade, the Koala Conservation Centre, Churchill Island and many other significant eco-tourist and conservation locations.
