Warrnambool

Adopt a maritime theme along the coastline from the spectacular 12 Apostles and the Loch Ard shipwreck to Warrnambool. Discover the seafaring history of Warrnambool and the rugged Shipwreck Coast with a visit to the award winning Flagstaff Hill Maritime Village. Nestled into the rising contour of Victoria's south-west coast amid green dairying country and overlooking the deep blue of the Southern Ocean, Warrnambool has had a long and colourful history linked with the sea with marvellous beaches that attract crowds during warmer months.

A whale of a time
A must on your Warrnambool 'to do' list, is a visit to Victoria's Southern Right Whale nursery. These giants return to Logans Beach every June to October and can often be seen just 100 metres off the shore. Watch from the viewing platform set amongst the sand dunes, but make time for multiple visits.
