Local Attractions

Warrnambool has so much to offer, whatever the time of year. Climb a dormant volcano, explore the Shipwreck Coast, and watch a whale breaching just off shore.

Tower Hill

This dormant volcano is a natural wonderland, home to emus, kangaroos, koalas, wallabies, echidnas and reptiles. A small lake inside the crater is a haven for water birds. Climb to the peak and enjoy spectacular views of the countryside.
