A few years ago the Churchill Island farm staff had some campfire activities during one lot of school holidays. Each morning they'd light the campfire in the fenced off paddock near the shearing shed and boil some billy tea and cook up a stew in a camp oven in the coals or cook up some chops on an improvised hot plate over the fire . The visitors loved seeing it, and the workers got to eat and drink the results! Here are Peter, Trevor and Wazza cooking a feed of chops and eggs. Can't you just smell that!? ... See MoreSee Less

We can't go to Churchill Island at present, but some of us can view it from a distance. Here it is from Rhyll beach, with a moored boat and some very "chilled" seagulls in the foreground.

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
