Regulars to Churchill Island will have seen our Pied Oystercatchers near the CI side of the bridge, which is one of their favorite resting places. This one was spotted recently in that area and because it is leg-flagged, the Phillip Island Nature Parks team can tell that it is 14 years old. Quite a good effort! But, they can live to be 40 years old. They do breed on CI too.Spotted: a 14-year-old Pied Oystercatcher enjoying the views at Churchill Island.

While oystercatchers have been known to live up to 40 years, our coastal bird research team still get excited when they find one of this age, as it means they are thriving in the natural environment Millowl (Phillip Island) provides them. ... See MoreSee Less

A favorite object at the Easter Festivals, and in the historic farm machinery display is the Furphy cart, restored by two farm staff in the late 1990s. The Furphy carts were an essential on farms for many years to keep water up to thirsty working horses and workers. The origin of the name developed into the Australian slang meaning "tall story" by the soldiers who gathered around the Furphy cart to drink and share news and yarns with the driver, who brought news from camp to camp. Pictured are the cart in the CI collection, and an image of soldiers gathered around during WW1. ... See MoreSee Less
