Phillip Island travel in busy periods
In busy periods, getting on and off the Island and in and out of Cowes can be slower than usual.
This includes long weekends, special events and peak holiday periods. Especially first couple of days after Christmas, Easter and Moto Grand Prix.
Allow extra time and avoid travelling in peak times if possible.
A great Facebook Group is called Phillip Island Traffic Check.
