Today was the long-awaited Puffing Billy and Penguin Parade day tour! We met at Spencer Street at 9:30 AM, and our first stop was the Brighton Bathing Boxes! We took so many beautiful photos! It truly lived up to its reputation! We finally checked that off our list! Then we set off for Puffing Billy! It was an hour's drive, a unique experience! In between, we opted to visit a farm called Maru, where we got up close with kangaroos, which was so much fun! (We stayed for an hour and a half.) After that, we headed to see the penguins! We waited for an hour, standing in a prime spot for a close-up view. The penguins were so cute and tiny! I heard a foreigner next to me describe the whole parade as "fascinating," and I think that's a perfect description! It was definitely worth the price! (=゚ω゚)ノ Finally, a big thank you to our guide and driver, Uncle Steven, for giving us such a wonderful experience! Thank you!

Joe arranged an amazing itinerary! Although the Puffing Billy Railway was delayed due to a breakdown, the steam train experience was still very good. Joe also helped us arrange a visit to the Nobbies, and even though time was tight, we still caught the super beautiful Nobbies sunset. Thanks to Joe's advice, we saw many little penguins coming ashore to their nests.
