There are a large number of wildlife experts engaged in the research and protection of penguins, and now there are more than 30 thousand penguins living on Phillip Island. However, due to the intensification of human activities, the natural ecological environment of wild penguins has been changed, and penguins have a decreasing trend year by year.

After World War I, about 50,000 Australian soldiers returned from Britain. Due to the national economic depression and rising unemployment rate, the government had no choice but to arrange these soldiers to open up wasteland to build roads. 1932, the full-length180km coastal highway from Geelong to Campbell Port was officially completed and opened to traffic. Because World War I is usually called "GreatWar" in English, and this road was built by soldiers who participated in World War I, it was officially named "Dayang Road".

12 20th Apostle: There are 12 broken rocks formed by weathering and seawater erosion for millions of years on the coastline of Campbell National Nature Park.

9. Port Arthur: Located in Tasman Peninsula, Tasmania, with a distance of 102km from Hobart, the capital city, it is the best-preserved prison monument in Australia at present and is known as "the Gulag of Australia". From 1830 to 1877, more than 12000 British ex-prisoners were held here. The prison is surrounded by mountains, like a natural barrier castle.

10, Peak: NambungNationalPark, 245km north of Perth, the capital of Western Australia. The grotesque stone pillars in the park are scattered all over the desert, forming a unique spectacle. On the flat sand dunes, limestone stalagmites stand everywhere, the highest is 1.5 feet, and the smallest is only as big as a finger, just like the arrangement of ancient battlefields, which is known as the "peak stone array". When Dutch explorers saw this desert landscape of limestone columns from the ship, they thought they had discovered the ruins of an ancient city. In fact, these steeple rock landscapes are natural phenomena of geological changes. About 30 thousand years ago, the roots of plants growing on stable sand dunes weathered for a long time and formed limestone. After the plant died, the dunes moved constantly, which exposed these calcified limestone to the surface and formed the stalagmites we see now.
