Nobbies Centre, Nature education center in Summerlands, Australia.
Nobbies Centre sits on the western tip of Phillip Island, featuring observation decks and boardwalks that let you watch Australian fur seals and other marine creatures up close. The facility combines easy access with unobstructed views of the coastline and wildlife in their natural environment.
The centre was developed to direct visitor traffic on Phillip Island while protecting the animals living there. It marked a shift toward combining wildlife tourism with conservation efforts on the island.
The center promotes environmental education through interactive exhibits and educational displays that showcase the behaviors and habitats of local marine species.
The centre is open daily and features accessible pathways, a cafe, and a shop, with free parking available. Bring weather-appropriate clothing since the island's tip is exposed and conditions can be windy.
The centre uses special cameras to monitor Australia's largest fur seal colony in real time without disturbing the animals. The footage is displayed on screens inside, giving visitors insight into animal behavior that would otherwise be hard to observe.
