KNOWLEDGE OF Warrnambool
Warrnambool is a regional city of around 32,000 people on the south-western coast of Victoria, Australia, located in the municipality City of Warrnambool. It is at the western end of the Great Ocean Road, but is more quickly reached along the Princes Highway, 275 kilometres and 3 hours from Melbourne by road or rail.
Warrnambool is a popular tourist destination and a comprehensive regional service centre.

As well as the spectacular views from the Great Ocean Road, there are several beaches nearby, some of which are used for surfing. In the winter months, Southern Right whales are regularly seen in the waters near the city at the Logan's Beach nursery, and boats offer whale-watching tours.
The whales come from Antarctica to give birth in the warmer waters of Australia, and Warrnambool is one of the few places to which they come.
