Flagstaff Hill
Book your ticket to the Sound and Light Show ‘Tale of the Shipwreck Coast’. Tales of the Shipwreck Coast is told through light projections onto a massive wall of water from the Village lake and the village buildings themselves. It weaves three true stories of the past, from local Aboriginal dreamtime, to the tales of whalers and the infamous wreck of the Loch Ard. It runs on dusk every night and it’s best to book to avoid disappointment.
Whale Watching
Almost every year between June and September, female Southern Right Whales return to the waters of Warrnambool's Logans Beach to calve. The whales often swim within a hundred meters of the shore. They can be viewed from a specially constructed platform in the sand dunes or from the beach.
