"Named after Governor Arthur Phillip, Phillip Island in Victoria (Australia) forms a natural breakwater for the shallow waters of Western Port Bay.
Part of the Bass Coast Shire, it is mainly a tourist destination. The island·s history has seen shipwrecks and attempts to grow various specialty crops. The Penguin Parade and Seal Rocks are the main tourist venues, with visitors from all over the world coming to see one of the few areas where this species of penguin can be seen. On New Year·s Eve the island hosts the Pyramid Rock Festival."
