Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: I don't know what Phillip Island is like all year round but if you go in May then make sure you're dressed warmly! Comfortable clothing is a must here.
Photo Equipment: Take a camera. A good zoom is ideal for all those nature shots but bear in mind you won't be permitted to use a camera for the penguin parade.

Luggage and bags: This is a day trip from Melbourne, so you will only need bags if you are staying over in Phillip Island.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: If you are going in July.... pack warm. It was very cold, about 9 degrees Celsius. I only had a sweatshirt which was not enough. I ended up buying a beanie and a fleece blanket for some of the activities, so just pack warm.
Photo Equipment: Of course.
