WARRNAMBOOL - FUN CAPITAL OF THE GREAT OCEAN ROAD
Located on the spectacular Great Ocean Road and brimming with family-friendly activities, Warrnambool has bucket loads of fun for your family these school holidays.
Unspoilt beaches, kilometres of walking tracks and bike trails, historic buildings, acres of parks and playgrounds and great eating spots combine to create the perfect holiday destination.
Warrnambool has a fantastic 20 hectare adventure playground on the foreshore, and Flagstaff Hill Maritime Village is hugely popular with kids of all ages with a jam-packed school holiday program of old fashioned fun. And remember, Flagstaff Hill is not only a day time attraction. The spectacular nightly sound & laser show ‘Shipwrecked!’ brings to life the tragic tale of the Loch Ard disaster, and of its two survivors.
And don’t forget, winter is whale viewing season in Warrnambool, where Southern Right Whales and their new born calves laze about in the shallows off Logans Beach.
Extend your stay and take a wildlife walk at dormant volcano Tower Hill, enjoy fish & chips in historic Port Fairy and discover the spectacular 12 Apostles – all only a short drive from Warrnambool.
With so much to do and see, family friendly accommodation, and only around 3 hours from Melbourne by V/Line train www.vline.com.au or car, Warrnambool is the perfect spot to enjoy the school holidays to the max (any time of the year).
