Good question with some good answers too! Very helpful!

check if early showing of fireworks in your area’
to see
as this may be better celebrating earlier for 2 year old take a picnic and it is free
If you have other families with littlies too
get them to make it a party with you
streamers and noice blowers too
grandparents and friends exciting for all of you

take as many toysas you can to keep them ocuppied as for food i make up pronto pasties they are easy for the little ones to handle and easy to make you just need puff pastry cut into 1/4s fill with mixed veg or any leftover meats, cook for 10 min till golden brown, eat hot or cold,
hope this helps

I have recently been thinking the same thing. Not a lot to do with a littley.

Hi –
Phillip Island is a very popular Christmas/NY destination, so there should be heaps on. I agree to check with the owner/manager of where you are staying, as they should have great local knowledge. We visited the Island Summer Carnival last year & the kids loved it http://www.visitphillipisland.com/listing/island-summer-carnival/. The Woolamai Races are also on NY Day, which could provide a fun family experience. Amanda

Phillip Island is a pretty popular place, so there will be heaps on. I agree – check with the owner/manager of the place you are staying as they should have good local knowledge. We went here last year & the kids loved it http://www.visitphillipisland.com/listing/island-summer-carnival/. The Woolamai Races is on New Years Day – country races have a great atmosphere and are usually pretty geared up towards families. Enjoy. Amanda from http://www.familyfriendlyaccommodation.com.au

If you can get some information from the Tourist Information Centre in advance. They may post you some information about events. If you know which Council Area Phillip Island is in they may send you some information. I don’t know if you can find any information on google at all. Maybe you could contact the place you are staying at for information. If you know somebody that lives over there or in Melbourne they may be able to help you.
