Embark on a journey of rolling hills and sweeping plains as you traverse the region that surrounds Perth. After you pick up your Dollar rental car from Perth airport, you can discover a range of picturesque drives that will take you from the beach to the bush, with plenty of child friendly stops in between.

Explore the Natural Playground of Yanchep National Park

For first-time visitors to Perth, Yanchep National Park is the perfect place to experience the region’s natural beauty without venturing far from the city. Less than an hour’s drive from Perth, Yanchep National Park is a gateway to otherworldly landscapes and curious creatures. The drive north from the city takes you past sparkling ocean views and into the lush greenery of a natural wonderland. Once you arrive, it’ll be like stepping into a scene straight out of a nature documentary. Western grey kangaroos hop around the park and koalas nap peacefully above the koala boardwalk. The kids will love these sightings of classic Australian animals - although, we can assure that the adults will love it just as much. For an experience you’ll never forget, make sure to take a tour of the Crystal Cave - an underground ancient wonderland of natural cave decorations. Not only will you and the little ones learn more about the intricate details of a cave on this tour, but you’ll also be able to get up close and personal to the magnificent formations.

Venture Further Down South to Margaret River

The iconic region of Margaret River in the southern expanse of Western Australia is truly a sight to behold, home to a collection of charming towns and seaside escapes, including the eponymous Margaret River. Driving south from Perth, weave your way along the shimmering coast line, watching as the infinite stretches of ocean follow you as you journey further and further away from the big smoke, like something straight from a postcard. The first town to stop at is Busselton, home of the world-famous jetty. The kids will love the jetty - the longest timber-piled jetty in the Southern Hemisphere stretching out to 1841 metres long. No need to worry if their little legs won’t carry them the whole way, the solar-powered jetty train is a great way to take in the sights as you cruise toward the end of the jetty. The next stop on this scenic drive is Cape Naturaliste, where you can find a historic lighthouse in amazing condition. Climb to the top and soak up the scenery as the panoramic views deliver some of the most picturesque imagery you’ll find in the state. As you travel back up to Perth from the Margaret River region, take the South Western Highway this time to experience a taste of the lush greenery of the surrounding forests and bush that call this region home.

The Newcastle Gaol Museum even has a miniature railway ride for the whole family to enjoy. If you’re wanting to take your exciting adventure up a notch, make sure to pop past the old Connors Mill and feast your eyes on the real working steam engine. As you head into the city, allow the gentle greenery of nature to show you the way back toward the coast as you reminisce of a beautiful scenic drive to and from York.

Whether you’re heading north to otherworldly landscapes, south to a coast dotted with lighthouses and jetties, or east into lush bushland and historic towns, there are plenty of child-friendly scenic drives to enjoy around Perth in your Dollar rental car.

3b:T1529,

Scattered across outback Queensland, the Great Australian Dinosaur Trail is best experienced with the whole family in tow in your Dollar rental car. Once you pick up your vehicle from Townsville airport, you’ll be on the verge of uncovering the ancient paths of the incredible creatures that once roamed this very land.

Begin Your Journey in the Town of Hughenden

The journey from Townsville to the outback town of Hughenden is a scenic four hour drive that will deliver you to the gateway of the ancient world. Situated at the edge of a prehistoric inland sea, Hughenden is bordered by four national parks and boasts over 3000 fossil specimens from the Cretaceous period, alongside vast dramatic landscapes. It won’t be hard to imagine these ancient beasts once roaming the earth that you’re adventuring around. The best place to start exploring in Hughenden is the Flinders Discovery Centre, a hub of history that stretches back thousands of years. You’ll even meet the life size skeletal replica from the original bones of a 100-million-year-old Muttaburrasaurus from the surrounding region.

After you’ve explored the Flinders Discovery Centre, check out the nearby Porcupine Gorge. This picturesque landscape is overflowing with dramatic canyons filled with strata of sedimentary rocks that date back hundreds of millions of years. You’ll also be able to find a nearby vine forest and shimmering water holes that sit alongside the greenery beautifully, as well as boasting stunning savannah plains. You won’t want to forget your camera for this spot.

Travel South to the Outback Oasis of Winton

A further two hours’ drive south, through endless outback plains that stretch as far as the eye can see, you’ll arrive in the quaint town of Winton. This hotspot of dinosaur remains is home to the largest dinosaur fossil collection in the country, as well as the Southern Hemisphere’s most productive fossil preparation laboratory. Best of all, just outside Winton you can see the fossilised remains of a 95-million-year-old dinosaur stampede - the only recorded evidence of its kind in the world. Head to Lark Quarry Conservation Park to see the fossilised footprints of ancient creatures - more than 150 small carnivorous dinosaurs that left their mark as they fled from a larger predator. Walk along the footprints - all 3,300 of them if you want a challenge - and compare the size of these incredible beasts to the world you walk through today.

Wrap up your adventures in Winton by cruising through the educational Australian Age of Dinosaurs museum, not too far from the centre of the town. You’ll learn about how the dinosaur bones have been discovered over time and what goes into extracting and preserving them. This is a great place to also catch a glimpse at two of Australia’s most complete dinosaur skeletons.

Finish Up Your Adventure in Richmond

For your final stop on the Great Australian Dinosaur Trail, head to the town of Richmond, about two and a half hours north-west of Winton. While this outback town is surrounded by red dust and dry land, travel back a hundred or so million years ago and you’ll find that Richmond was actually home to a vast inland sea, full to the brim of prehistoric reptiles and marine life. You can even discover one of these sea creatures for yourself, with an almost complete skeleton of a plesiosaur - an ancient marine creature - living in Richmond. There are plenty of fossil hunting locations scattered all across the town and its surrounding landscape - to discover some of this for yourself, head to the Visitor Information Centre and talk to one of the friendly staff there for recommendations of where to visit.

You don’t need to go hunting too far to get your dinosaur fix, though. Kronosaurus Korner in the heart of Richmond is a museum that will take you back in time to when these great beasts reigned supreme. Here you’ll find Australia’s largest fossilised fish and even get the chance to help the scientists dig for them yourself. Who knows, maybe you’ll uncover the next great unknown beast hiding just below the surface.

The Great Australian Dinosaur Trail is the perfect adventure to embark on with the whole family in your Dollar rental car. From Hughenden to Winton to Richmond, you’ll travel back in time and walk along the once-great beasts of the world.

When it comes to family trips, Perth is hard to go past. This city on Australia’s west coast may be on the smaller side, but it’s filled with adventure—especially when you’ve got the keys to a Dollar rental car. Here’s how to see the best of the city, plus sneak in a scenic day trip, all in just one week.

Day 1: Kings Park and the Perth CBD

Start your trip with Perth’s crown jewel: Kings Park. The botanical gardens are great for an easy stroll or picnic, and the treetop walkway will take you past views of the city and Swan River. The Synergy Parkland playground is a must for kids, with dinosaur statues and water play in summer. After lunch, head into the city for a wander through Elizabeth Quay, where there’s space to run around and often family events or pop-up activities.

Day 2: Zoo and River Adventures

Take the kids across to South Perth and spend the day at Perth Zoo. Here, they’ll meet the likes of giraffes, orangutangs and native Australian animals like wombats and quokkas. In the afternoon, relax with a picnic by the river foreshore, where there are cycle paths and playgrounds for burning off any extra energy.

Day 3: Fremantle

Fremantle is just a half-hour drive away and full of kid-friendly attractions. Start at the Fremantle Markets for snacking and shopping, then check out the WA Maritime Museum or for a deep dive into the area’s history. Round out the day at Esplanade Park, which has a great playground, or grab some fish and chips at the Fishing Boat Harbour.

Day 4: Rottnest Island

It’s time to leave the car behind for the day, and make way for Rottnest Island. Drive your rental to one of the nearby ferry terminals, then cruise across to this protected nature reserve just 19 km off the coast of Perth. With no cars allowed on the island (for everyday use), this is your invitation to slow down, rent a bike or jump on the hop-on hop-off bus to explore 60+ white-sand beaches, secret coves and scenic viewpoints. While you’re here, keep an eye out for the local quokkas roaming around!

Day 5: Beaches and Aquariums

Now it’s time to explore the north of the city. Begin at Scarborough Beach, with its safe swimming spots, lively foreshore and playground. Then, continue on to Hillarys Boat Harbour, where the kids can walk through underwater tunnels of the Aquarium of Western Australia, surrounded by sharks and rays. It’s that perfect mix of adventure and relaxation that’ll keep everyone engaged.

Day 6: Swan Valley

Take a 30 minute drive to Swan Valley, a region known not only for its wine, but also delicious local artisan treats. Stop by Margaret River Chocolate Company, honey farms, and ice-cream shops along your travels, seeking out wineries if your kids have the patience. (Just remember to have a designated driver if you plan on drinking any alcohol.) For something on the wild side, stop by Caversham Wildlife Park, where hand-feeding kangaroos and meeting farm animals is a highlight for many families.

Day 7: Rockingham or Mandurah

Wrap up your week with a short drive south. Over in Rockingham it’s all about the dolphins. Join a dolphin-watching cruise, or even a swimming-with-dolphins experience if the kids are old enough. The beaches here are calm and sheltered, and there are also foreshore cafes and grassy picnic spots.

Mandurah, a little further on, has its own unique charm. The canals weave through town, and it’s common to see dolphins gliding right past the boardwalks. Hop on a boat tour or simply wander along the waterfront, where there are playgrounds, art trails, and plenty of open space to burn off energy.

3e:T10ce,

Western Australia makes up around a third of the country, which means it’s got ‘road trip’ written all over it. There are endless places to take a drive, whether short trips or epic journeys, and this guide will give you an idea of how to plan yours with the comfort of a Dollar rental car.

Perth

Start in Perth, the state’s major city. For your base, South Perth is great for quiet streets, river views and proximity to the centre. Otherwise, you may want to stay in Subiaco for its café culture and neighborhood feel. If you’d rather be by the coast, but still close to the city, consider Scarborough. Kings Park is a must visit, with sprawling lawns, treetop walks, and one of the best playgrounds in the city, while Cottesloe Beach is perfect for an afternoon swim and picnic. If you’re feeling curious, head to the WA Museum Boola Bardip and Perth Zoo.

Fremantle

Next, hop in your rental car and head to Fremantle. This port city his packed with character, blending maritime history with a creative, laid-back atmosphere. The weekend Fremantle Markets are a fun day out, with everything from street food and buskers to quirky souvenirs and local crafts. Head to the WA Maritime Museum, where interactive exhibits and real vessels (including a submarine) bring the sea to life. When it’s time to slow down, the Esplanade Park has shaded playgrounds and plenty of space for a picnic, while the fishing boat harbour is the perfect spot for classic fish and chips by the water.

Busselton

Next, Busselton, home to the famous 1.8km-long jetty. Take your family on the little red train out to sea, then head down to the underwater observatory to see colourful marine life without getting wet. The calm, shallow bay makes it a safe swimming spot, and nearby foreshore parks are perfect for barbecues and playtime.

Margaret River

Margaret River isn’t just about wine. The family will love the Margaret River Chocolate Company and the delicious ice cream shops dotted through the region. For a real adventure, take a guided tour through Jewel Cave or Mammoth Cave, where stalactites and underground chambers make it feel like stepping into another world. Beaches like Prevelly are perfect for a day on the sand or a waterside picnic.

Augusta and Albany

Further south is Augusta, where humpback and southern right whales come to the shore between June and September. The Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse is a highlight, which marks the meeting point of two oceans. Then, continue to Albany for a mix of history and natural wonders. Visit the Gap and Natural Bridge and take in the expansive Southern Ocean. Families will also find calmer moments at Middleton or Emu Point beaches, both ideal for safe swims and picnics.

Optional Northern Detour

If your family prefers shorter drives, head north instead of south. Just a couple of hours from Perth, the Pinnacles Desert in Nambung National Park feels like another world, with limestone spires rising from the sand. Kids can run between the pillars, and there’s an interpretive centre to explain how they were formed.

Western Australia, the Dollar Way

Western Australia makes family road trips easy, with beaches, wildlife, and wide-open spaces all within reach of the city. With a Dollar rental car, you can shape the journey to suit your family—whether that means big adventures, quiet picnic stops, or a bit of both. However you plan it, this WA road trip will keep everyone smiling from the first kilometre to the last.

3f:Tfed,

People often hit the road in South Australia to hop around wineries, but there’s plenty here for families too. From sandy beaches and wildlife parks to caves, museums and coastal lookouts, the state has loads of options that don’t require long flights or big spending. With a Dollar rental car, you can fill the car and fill your time with endless adventures. Here are some to get you started.

Adelaide Hills

The Adelaide Hills are just a short drive from the city, but they feel like a different world. Cleland Wildlife Park and Gorge Wildlife Park let kids get up close to koalas, kangaroos and wombats, while the village of Hahndorf brings a European touch with German bakeries, craft shops and ice-cream stops. It’s an easy day out with plenty of variety for little legs.

Barossa Valley

The Barossa might be famous for Shiraz, but it’s also a family-friendly spot. The Barossa Valley Chocolate Company is always a hit with kids, and the Maggie Beer Farm Shop mixes food tastings with picnic-friendly grounds. Parks, bike trails, and heritage towns like Tanunda also make this region more than just a place for grown-ups.

Fleurieu Peninsula

The Fleurieu Peninsula is a top choice for some family beach time. Port Noarlunga has safe, shallow water and a reef where you can snorkel straight from the beach, while Victor Harbor has a horse-drawn tram across to Granite Island and the chance to spot little penguins after dark. If the beach doesn’t wear the kids out, there are also plenty of playgrounds and picnic spots to break up the drive.

Naracoorte Caves

The World Heritage-listed Naracoorte Caves are a hit for anyone who’s up for some exploring. Venture into these caves, preferably on a guided tour, and learn about the ancient fossil sites and limestone formations. The surrounding park has picnic areas and space to run, making it a good all-day stop on a longer road trip between Adelaide and Mount Gambier.

Kangaroo Island

Kangaroo Island, as the name suggests, is like a giant outdoor zoo. You’ll see not only kangaroos, but also echidnas, and koalas in the wild, plus sea lions at Seal Bay and fur seals at Admirals Arch. Kids love scrambling over the granite shapes at Remarkable Rocks, and there are calm beaches for swimming and rock-pooling. Getting there involves a ferry ride, which can feel like part of the adventure.

Eyre Peninsula

The Eyre Peninsula is best known for its seafood, but families can enjoy the natural side of it without splurging. Coffin Bay has calm waters and walking trails, while Whyalla offers the chance to see cuttlefish in winter. For something simple, many of the region’s small towns have wide beaches where kids can play while parents relax.

South Australia, Done by Dollar

South Australia has no shortage of destinations that everyone in the family will love. Whether that involves beaches, wildlife, or both at once, with a Dollar rental car you can keep it flexible and accessible, keeping everyone entertained and the memories everlasting.

In The Entrance, the daily pelican feeding is a hit with kids, while the nearby Tuggerah Lakes Cycleway is great for a family bike ride. The Central Coast is the kind of place where you can spend a whole weekend without rushing.

Kangaroo Valley

For something a little different, head inland to Kangaroo Valley, which is about two hours south of Sydney, passing through rolling hills and farmland along the way. Take the family canoeing on the Kangaroo River, explore nearby waterfalls, or visit Fitzroy Falls in Morton National Park for an easy bushwalk. The valley’s small cafés and markets serve excellent local produce, and there are plenty of cabins and farm stays that make for a cosy night away.

Port Stephens

Port Stephens is another family fave. Nelson Bay has calm beaches, while Stockton Bight Sand Dunes is the place for sandboarding, quad biking, or a 4WD tour. The kids will love the dolphin-seeing tours (which run year-round), plus spotting whales from May to November. For a short walk with incredible views, try the Tomaree Head Summit Walk.

Pick your place, and a weekend, then grab the keys to your Dollar rental car to make it all possible

41:T1491,

There’s no better way to spend a day with the family than at the beach. You can relax, run wild, and spend time together without spending money. And when you’re in Victoria, you’ve got more options than almost anywhere else in the country. The waters are much calmer, and almost entirely free from dangerous marine life, making them an easy choice for any family. And with a Dollar rental car, it’s easy to reach them all! Let’s find out how.

St Kilda Beach

If you want a beach close to the city with everything within walking distance, St Kilda is hard to beat. The water is calm enough for young swimmers, and the long pier makes for a perfect afternoon stroll. The heritage amusement park ‘Luna Park’ is right next door, and there are playgrounds, ice-cream shops and cafes lining the foreshore. Parking can get busy on hot days, so it’s best to head there early.

Altona Beach

A short drive west of Melbourne, Altona offers all the perks of a bayside beach without the crowds. The wide, shallow water makes it great for kids, and there’s plenty of open sand for cricket, kites, or just stretching out. The nearby playground and barbecue areas make it easy to settle in for the day, and there are casual cafés a short walk from the shore. The long pier is a favourite for fishing or a sunset walk.

Sorrento Back Beach and Portsea

Head down the Mornington Peninsula and you can choose between two completely different beach experiences. Sorrento’s front beach, inside Port Phillip Bay, is ideal for little ones who want to splash and paddle in wave-less waters. Over the hill, the back beach faces Bass Strait and offers rock pools and small surf breaks that older kids will love exploring. A little further along, Portsea Beach combines soft sand, scenic cliffs, and nearby cafés, making it a reliable family favourite.

Lorne

Lorne is one of Victoria’s most popular coastal towns for good reason. The main beach is patrolled during summer and has gentle waves, making it safe for swimmers of all ages. The foreshore is lined with cafés, picnic spots, and playgrounds, and the nearby Erskine Falls walk offers a nice change of scenery if you want a short break from the sand. The drive along the Great Ocean Road to get there is an experience in itself, with ocean views and scenic lookouts at every bend.

Apollo Bay

Continue along the Great Ocean Road and you’ll reach Apollo Bay, another beach that’s ideal for families. The bay is protected from big surf, so the waves are small and consistent, and there’s plenty of space to spread out even on busy weekends. The town has a relaxed feel, with small shops, bakeries, and fresh seafood restaurants within walking distance of the beach. For something different, drive up to nearby Marriners Lookout for panoramic views of the coast.

Inverloch

Inverloch sits where Anderson Inlet meets the ocean, creating shallow, protected waters that are perfect for swimming and paddleboarding. You can spend the day alternating between beach time and short walks along the coast, with plenty of shaded picnic areas to refuel. The surf beach just beyond the inlet has gentle waves for beginner surfers. Inverloch is also a great base for exploring nearby Venus Bay or the Bunurong Coastal Drive, one of the most scenic routes in Gippsland.

Lakes Entrance

If you’re up for a longer trip, head east to Lakes Entrance, where Ninety Mile Beach stretches endlessly and the Gippsland Lakes sit just behind the dunes. It’s a great destination for a full family getaway: safe swimming in the lakes, surf beaches nearby, and endless opportunities for boating, kayaking, or fishing. The town itself is easygoing and full of family-friendly eateries, making it just as good for a long weekend as a full summer holiday.

Beach Days, the Dollar Way

And there you have it. Victoria’s beaches, from the calm to choppy, from the inner-city to the way beyond. With a Dollar rental car, you can find the beach that suits your style and track it down with ease. Pack your swimming gear, and some beach-friendly snacks, and start planning your Victoria beach escape.

Bring a picnic or let the kids roam free on the grassy reserve while you listen to the gentle sound of rushing water.

Narawntapu National Park: Tasmania’s Serengeti

Located about an hour away on the northern coast, Narawntapu is one of the best places in Tasmania to spot native animals in the wild. Wallabies, wombats, kangaroos, and even Tasmanian devils call this coastal park home. Easy walking tracks take you past wetlands, lagoons, and sweeping beaches—perfect for a low-key wildlife adventure.

Notley Fern Gorge: A Walk Through Time

A 30-minute drive west of Launceston leads you to Notley Fern Gorge, where giant tree ferns and moss-covered logs create a prehistoric vibe. The 1.5km circuit is mostly shaded, making it a refreshing escape on warmer days. It’s quiet, green, and full of birdsong—ideal for anyone needing a moment of calm.

Launceston is Waiting

You can explore at your own pace or join keeper talks and animal encounters throughout the day.

Picnic in the Botanic Gardens

The Royal Botanic Garden is right next to the Sydney Opera House, offering plenty of grassy space for picnics and play. Kids can run between themed gardens, spot water dragons, and enjoy harbour views while parents relax in the shade.

End the Day with Ice Cream by the Water

Circular Quay is perfect for a low-key evening. Grab an ice cream or fish and chips, watch the ferries come and go, and enjoy the buskers who keep the atmosphere lively. It’s a simple way to wind down after a big day out.

Making Sydney a Family Adventure

With so many attractions close to each other, Sydney is a city that works well for families. Having a Dollar rental car means you can mix well-known sights with quieter, local spots, building an itinerary that keeps everyone happy from morning to night.

44:Te8a,

The Blue Mountains is one of Australia’s most spectacular regions—and it’s surprisingly family-friendly. Just a short drive from Sydney, you’ll find everything from short clifftop strolls to half-day adventures, all surrounded by dramatic sandstone cliffs and eucalyptus forest. With a Dollar rental car, it’s easy to hop between lookouts, picnic spots, and trailheads without feeling rushed.

Start with the Showstopper: Echo Point

If it’s your first time in the Blue Mountains, Echo Point in Katoomba is the perfect place to begin. The lookout offers panoramic views of the Jamison Valley and the famous Three Sisters rock formation. There’s a short, sealed path to the top viewing platform, which is ideal for prams or little legs—plus longer walking options if the family’s up for it.

Take the Family-Friendly Giant Stairway (Part of It)

The full Giant Stairway is a workout, but the first section down to Honeymoon Bridge is a fun, short challenge for kids who like to explore. The steps lead you to a bridge connecting one of the Three Sisters to the cliff face—a spot that’s as memorable for the adventure as it is for the view.

Go Waterfall Spotting in Wentworth Falls

Wentworth Falls has several walking tracks to suit different ages and fitness levels. The Wentworth Falls Lookout gives you a dramatic, high vantage point, while the short walk to Fletcher’s Lookout offers a closer view of the water tumbling into the valley. For a relaxed picnic afterwards, the Wentworth Falls Lake area is a great choice.

Explore Blackheath’s Lookouts

Blackheath is a little quieter than Katoomba, but the views are just as impressive. Govetts Leap Lookout gives you a sweeping panorama over the Grose Valley, while Evans Lookout is a peaceful spot to enjoy a packed lunch. Both have easy access from the car park, making them good options for a quick stop between longer walks.

Scenic World for an Easy Adventure

If you’ve got younger kids or just want to see the Blue Mountains from a different angle, Scenic World offers cable cars, a skyway, and the world’s steepest railway. It’s a mix of thrills and scenery that doesn’t require a big hike, and the elevated walkways through the forest are a nice way to finish.

Short Bushwalks That Feel Far Away

For something away from the main tourist hubs, try the South Lawson Waterfall Circuit. It’s a gentle loop with multiple small falls and lush forest, taking around 90 minutes at a relaxed pace. Another good pick is the Leura Cascades walk, which is short, shady, and close to cafes for a post-walk treat.

Make It a Day to Remember

Whether you’re here for a quick day trip or staying overnight, the Blue Mountains has endless options for family-friendly nature time. With a Dollar rental car, you can weave together lookouts, walks, and scenic drives to create a day that everyone in the family will remember—no matter their age.

45:Td27,

Just 90 minutes from Melbourne is Phillip Island: a favourite for travellers who want a mix of nature, wildlife, and coastal scenery. The island’s famous Penguin Parade is reason enough to visit, but there’s plenty more to see if you give yourself the time. With a Dollar rental car, you can explore the island at your own pace, linking the major wildlife experiences with scenic stops along the way.

See the Penguin Parade Up Close

The Penguin Parade is the island’s most famous attraction for good reason. Every evening, hundreds of little penguins emerge from the sea and waddle up the beach to their burrows. You can watch from general viewing platforms or book a closer ranger-guided experience. It’s worth arriving early to explore the visitor centre and learn more about the penguins’ lives before the nightly spectacle begins.

Wander the Boardwalks at the Nobbies

Just a short drive from the Penguin Parade, the Nobbies Boardwalk offers dramatic ocean views and the chance to spot seals on the offshore rocks. In spring, you might see seabird chicks nesting in the cliffs. The blowhole—a sea cave where waves crash with impressive force—is another highlight.

Visit the Koala Conservation Reserve

If you’ve never seen a koala in the wild, the Koala Conservation Reserve offers one of the best chances. Elevated boardwalks wind through eucalyptus trees, making it easy to spot these sleepy marsupials at eye level. The reserve also has bush trails where you can spot wallabies and native birdlife.

Take a Seal Watching Cruise

Phillip Island is home to Australia’s largest fur seal colony, found on Seal Rocks. A boat cruise lets you get close to the action, with hundreds of seals basking on the rocks or playing in the water. Tours run year-round, and the sight (and sound) of so many seals together is unforgettable.

Stroll Along Cape Woolamai

For a mix of wildlife and landscapes, Cape Woolamai delivers. The pink granite cliffs are stunning in the late afternoon light, and the walking tracks take you through coastal heath where you might spot wallabies and seabirds. It’s also one of the island’s top surfing beaches, so you can watch locals riding the waves before heading back.

Make the Most of Your Time on the Island

While the Penguin Parade is the headline act, Phillip Island’s other wildlife experiences make the trip even more rewarding. And, when you’re travelling with a Dollar rental car, you’ll have the freedom to explore the island’s must-see spots in a single day, or spread them out over a relaxed weekend.
