Warrnambool (VIC)
Warrnambool is a major coastal city in south-west Victoria, located at the western end of the Great Ocean Road and known for its rugged coastline, whale watching, and strong maritime heritage. Positioned along the Southern Ocean, Warrnambool combines natural beauty with a well-developed regional centre.
Originally established as a port and agricultural hub, Warrnambool grew through its connections to shipping, fishing, and farming. Today, it serves as a key gateway to the Shipwreck Coast, where dramatic cliffs, beaches, and ocean views define the landscape.
One of Warrnambool’s most recognised attractions is Logan’s Beach, one of the best land-based whale watching locations in Australia. Each year, southern right whales return to the area, drawing visitors to witness these remarkable animals close to shore.
The surrounding coastline features a mix of beaches, rocky headlands, and scenic lookouts, while inland areas reveal volcanic landscapes, lakes, and waterfalls. Nearby Tower Hill, an extinct volcanic crater, offers insight into the region’s geological history and natural environment.
Warrnambool’s town centre provides a full range of accommodation, dining, retail, and services, making it a convenient and comfortable base for exploring the broader region, including nearby towns and attractions.
Blending coastal scenery, wildlife experiences, and regional accessibility, Warrnambool stands out as one of Victoria’s most complete coastal destinations.
ShowcasingOz TV will be capturing the landscapes, attractions, businesses, and experiences that define Warrnambool as part of our national filming journey — highlighting its coastal identity, whale encounters, surrounding regions, and its role as the western gateway to the Great Ocean Road.
