Google tells me its close to 2 hours from Southbank to Phillip Island. Might be a bit further afield than we want to go, but if we head that direction for any other reason we'll see.
The penguin parade at Phillip Island is not significantly better than Perth's equivilant at Penguin Island. I wouldn't bother.
If you have a car and can do a daytrip, I would strongly suggest the other direction: Head through Geeling to Torquay and then drive the Great Ocean Road to the 12 Apostles. A lovely drive, and good odds of seeing wild koalas.
Here's a Covid-era livestream if you decide not to go 😆
