A 640 m concrete bridge (originally a wooden bridge) connects the mainland town San Remo with the island town Newhaven. In the 2011 census the island's permanent population was 9,406, compared to 7,071 in 2001. During the summer, the population swells to 40,000. 60% of the island is farmland devoted to grazing of sheep and cattle.

ReplyDeleteThe penguins marching out of the ocean and onto the sand each night are huge tourist attractions. And adorable.
ReplyDeleteHello Nick, I am sorry about the link mix up. It was my fault. We were out of town and it was late Sunday night when I did my post. Honestly, I was falling asleep. Yikes.
ReplyDeletePhillip Island is a beautiful place to visit. You really captured the charm of the Island in photos. The increase of people in season is much like where we live. Our small town is a bit over 5,000 except in the summer and Fall. It increases about 50,000 visitors in the summer and Fall. We do love where we live in spite of the increase in season. Thank you for sharing this lovely island on Blue Monday. Have a great week.
