About
Phillip Island Conservation Society Inc - Celebrates 55 years of Conservation
Friday 5 January and Saturday 6 January
Open 10am - 4pm
On a cold night in St. Philip’s Parish Hall on Saturday, 11th of May 1968, 33 people attended a meeting in response to organising a concerted effort to stop the development of a Marina at Rhyll Inlet, and so the Phillip Island Conservation Society (PICS) began. Join us to celebrate the past and advocate for the future of Phillip Island.
