The population is about to explode on Phillip Island


With all the holiday hordes arriving on Phillip Island on Christmas and Boxing Day, today (the day before Christmas) is our last opportunity for a relaxed dog walk along "our" beach.


Over the Christmas period the population swells from around 7000 to 50,000 plus, consequently there are people and dogs everywhere. During this time, we choose to leave our two shepherds at home. There will be lots of dogs on the beach and the potential for our dogs to be rushed at by yapping, snapping little dogs off leads is too high. So today's walk, with the dogs free to run along the beach at high speed and plunge into the waves to cool off, was appreciated. Today was a glittering blue day with the tide part-way out.
