Inside folde as writtenr: "Phillip Island, Victoria, Australia"
"Situated in Westernport Bay, Phillip Island offers a delightful combination of rugged coastal scenery, quiet restful countryside, and calm sheltered coves.
The tourist finds ample interesting features within easy reach of the many Guest Houses and Hotels. The native Koala Bear is seen in numerous parts of the island, and tourist parties are given the opportunity of visiting the haunts of the Penguin and Seal.
Excellent beaches provide good swimming and surfing, and the sportsman finds plenty of scope for his activities.
The new bridge from San Remo to Newhaven provides an alternative means of communication to that supplied by the Ferry from Stony Point to Cowes."
