So much to do at this park - get lost in the maze, go on the flying foxes, play in the various playgrounds, watch the boats on the river or have a go - motorised for a relaxed ride or paddle boats for the more energetic. The beach was a short walk across the road and over the dune.

Bay of Islands

A land and seascape sculpted by the elements over millennia. Arches, islands and rock stacks are dotted along a wild coastline of beach coves and spectacular lookouts. The wild Southern Ocean has carved a stunning collection of rock stacks and sheltered bays with clifftop walks, scenic lookouts and small beach coves near Peterborough along the Great Ocean Road. Perhaps overshadowed by the Port Campbell and the Twelve Apostles down the road, the Bay of Islands Coastal Park offers just equally spectacular experience without the crowds. Dogs are welcome on a lead at Sandy Cove near Murnanes Bay.

Spectacular scenery, really worth seeing. 40 minutes west of Port Campbell and the 12 apostles. Warrnambool is 35 minutes further west. Don't miss this site, way better than the Apostles and you don't have the crowds.

This was our second visit in three years, and it was great before, and even better now. There is a mind-blowing new introduction area, new audio visual features throughout this wonderful fishing village, and even a new laser show format in the evening. You'll find yourself drawn into the incredible history and personal tales of the era, and view genuine artifacts. The whole family is going to love this attraction - and you can make a whole day of it, with a delicious dinner and show package. We learned and enjoyed everything so much - Flagstaff Hill Maritime Village is a definite highlight of the Great Ocean Road - don't miss this!

Warrnambool Botanic Gardens

Reviewed By daniellebI1549FD - Melbourne, Australia

Kids I know love climbing on the cannon or climbing around the giant fig trees. We can easily spend a couple of hours here. Especially if we have a picnic with friends. There are also several events held here. My favourite being Wunta Fest with an outdoor movie at the end of January each year.

As a kid we use to visit an aquarium located here. The aquarium is long gone but the Breakwater is still a must see spot in Warrnambool. Watching the waves crash is hypnotic and a popular activity for generations

Foreshore Promenade

Reviewed By QuEee2 - Officer, Australia

When in Warrnambool you just have to take advantage of the Foreshore Promenade - it is a great walk, but it also stimulates the senses - the aromas, the seaspray, the sun, the surf, just a delightfully maritime experience...

This is where the locals go to either sit in their cars or get out onto the viewing platform to view the sunset. Also a great spot to take a walk along the designated paths. A beautiful and natural place
