Welcome back to “What’s Outside Melbourne?” Episode 3 with @biancainmelbourne ✨ This week we’re heading to Phillip Island (Millowl) during the annual Phillip Island Whale Festival 🐋

Every winter, humpback and southern right whales migrate along Victoria’s coastline, and this festival celebrates with whale spotting opportunities, marine education and family-friendly activities… but that’s just the beginning of what you can find while you’re there 👀

📍 @phillipisland (Millowl), approx. 2 hours south-east of Melbourne on Bunurong country
📅 @islandwhales festival takes place annually during winter whale migration season (May–October)
