Fishing is about so much more than catching a fish. While it is certainly the main aim of the activity, the experience offers so many other benefits.

It is a great way to spend a day in the fresh sea air and take in the spectacular coastal scenery. Whether you chose the freshwater of the lakes and rivers or the expanse of the ocean, you can take in the beautiful landscapes and maybe spot some wildlife while you wait. Some of the popular spots include the Hopkins river for Mulloway, Bream and Mullet and Logans Beach for Snapper and Gummy Shark.

Fishing is a fantastic opportunity to spend time with the family, teaching the kids a new skill. Everyone can have a go at fishing at just about any age โ€“ be it a hand line or a massive surf rod, there is something that suits all sizes. Take a picnic, grab something at a local eatery or cook your catch on the public BBQs located in some of the local parks.

Even if you donโ€™t hook a fish, the adventure and fun had over a fishing line will long be remembered โ€“ along with the stories of the one that got away!

A great way to spend your weekend is by taking a mini road trip up our end of the Great Ocean Road ๐Ÿš—

With many stop off points between Warrnambool and The 12 Apostles (roughly 1 hour away) such as London Bridge, The Grotto, Bay of Islands and Port Campbell, it is a wonderful way to take in some of our beautiful surroundings.

Head back inland to Timboon for some well deserved ice cream, and enjoy the roaming hills.

As night falls, step inside Flagstaff Hill Maritime Museum to experience dramatic stories of Australiaโ€™s rich maritime history, told vividly through the multimillion-dollar Sound and Light Show Experience.

Tales of the Shipwreck Coast takes you on a journey through the ages. From local Aboriginal stories to our colourful whaling past then to events that gave our coastline a reputation that inspired fear and trepidation among mariners.

Bookings for the show are strongly recommended, so book your spot early to not miss out!

Lake Pertobe ๐Ÿ™Œ

This 35 hectare award winning playground is an absolute favourite! The choices are endless, play on the adventure equipment, enjoy a game of cricket or feed the ducks.
Electric BBQ's and shelters make the area popular for family picnics. The lake complex also has a boat hire and a walking trail extends around the lakes, providing a natural contrast to the rest of the manicured park.

At the end of The Great Ocean Road, just beyond the 12 Apostles, the picturesque seaside city of Warrnambool is home to Flagstaff Hill Maritime Museum and Village.

Here lie the stories of hundreds of ships, their crewmen and passengers whose lives were claimed by the Shipwrecked Coast in the 19th Century. Stories passed on by the lucky few who survived the journey to start a new life in a foreign land, vowing never to set foot on a ship again.
