What's Local

Hopkins Falls

Nature & Parks

If there is one thing you must see when visiting Warrnambool, it is Hopkins Falls. With a span of 90 metres and a height of 12 metres it is certainly an impressive structure, especially during the winter months after a solid amount of rainfall. If you are lucky you may even see a baby eel or 2 hurtling themselves over the rocks as they make their migration!
Whether you are there just for the quick Insta-snap or for a relaxing day out with the family, Hopkins Falls has everything you need. Equipped with BBq areas and toilets makes having a picnic a breeze while multiple view platforms enables you to see the majesty of the Falls from a number of different angles.

The best thing is that it's located just 16.2km's from the Town Center so you'd be crazy not to check it out!
