Phillip Island Fur Seals

Close Encounters

Fur seals off Phillip Island

More than 16,000 seals have their colony on Seal Rocks, off Point Grant, on Victoria's Phillip Island. Here, some of the seals are viewed from a cruise ship. The Seal Rocks Sea Life Centre at the western tip of the island provides a look into the island's ecology and the lifecycles of seabirds, seals and the fearsome great white shark.
