Phillip Island, Victoria, Australia, is located in the mouth of Westernport Bay and is 140 Kilometres South East of Melbourne CBD.
Access to Phillip Island is via a bridge between San Remo, on the mainland, and Newhaven on Phillip Island.
The island has an area of about 10,000 Hectares, and the landscape is slightly undulating with the highest point being Cape Woolamai at 109 metres (357 ft) above sea level.
The island has approximately 101 kilometres (60 miles) of coastline with the south and part of the west coast being exposed to the open ocean, Bass Strait,
giving us some of the best surf beaches in Australia.
The north and eastern coastline is situated in Westernport Bay with many calm and safe swimming beaches and inlets with mangrove flats.

The Great Southern Road Trip
|
|
Australia is the largest island on earth and is also the driest continent and thus much of this great country consists of dry baron land.
Although Australia has a diverse range of great holiday destination in all parts of the country, the southern region from Sydney to Perth is by far the most condensed and diverse in Australia.
The region has some of the best beaches in the world, great snow fields, temperate rain forests, deserts, mountains, rivers, lakes, unrivalled scenery, as well as a large number of man made and natural attractions.

There is also in this region five unique capital cities, Sydney with its great harbour, Melbourne with its garden and culture, Adelaide with its great country atmosphere, Perth's cultual differants, and Canberra, our nation’s capital.
