Many of you probably know and love the Clydesdale sculpture near the Churchill Island Visitor Centre. This horse has seen many thousands of children hop on to have a 'ride' and their photos taken. FOCIS volunteer and newsletter editor Jeff Cole oils the sculpture with special oil once a year, and it is due for an oiling now before the weather gets too cold. It may just have to wait til Spring! The sculpture was made with a chainsaw from a fallen Churchill Island cypress by Dean "Dancing Bear" Smith during a Working Horse Festival years ago. You can find out more about Dean here: deansmithdancingbear.com/about/ Photo shows Dean creating the horse. ... See MoreSee Less

From Phillip Island Nature Parks: "In light of the rapidly changing situation, and in order to help contain the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19), the Nature Parks Board has made the very difficult decision to temporarily close the Penguin Parade, Koala Conservation Reserve and Churchill Island, effective from 5pm on Monday 23 March." Check their website if you have paid for tickets and want to organise a refund: penguins.org.au/news/latest-news/new-news-page-59/ Given the bumper season the penguins have just had, they'll still be there when we all get back. And so will Churchill Island. Photo: J J Harrison ... See MoreSee Less

For those of you not going out in public at the moment, here are some photos of the views we know and love from Churchill Island's cafe verandah. At present, CI is still open to the public, so you might like to visit and enjoy the open air and sights in the historic precinct, or maybe take the (free) walking track around the island to enjoy the wonderful views. ...

Following PM Morrison's announcement of restrictions on gatherings to less than 500 people, Phillip Island Nature Parks have restricted Penguin Parade numbers to 500, including staff. They have cancelled the Easter Fun Festival on Churchill Island, which was to have been held on 11th and 12th of April. The Koala Centre, Churchill Island and the Nobbies Centre are at this stage operating as per normal, and cleaning regimes have been increased. You and your visitors are still most welcome to visit these sites provided you do not have a temperature, sniffle or sore throat. Just remember to keep at least 1.5m distance from other people and wash your hands lots! Book ahead if you're planning to visit the Parade.
