#Latest news with #Non-WarrnambooliansThe Advertiser22-05-2025The AdvertiserDon't just drive past - this Great Ocean Road gem offers the ultimate holidayGetting there: V/Line runs five train services each day from Melbourne's Southern Cross Station to Warrnambool and back (about 3 hours and 45 minutes). Otherwise the Great Ocean Road provides a picturesque drive along one of the world's most stunning coastlines and finishes in Warrnambool. Getting around: Warrnambool is known as a 10-minute city - no matter where you are, you can get from one side of the city to the other or to the beach in 10 minutes or less. A car is handy, but there is a local bus service. It's also very walkable. Enjoy a stroll down to the Fletcher Jones Gardens and pick up a cup of coffee at the Pleasant Hill van in the much-loved gardens. Pack warm: Warrnambool is a windy city. Make sure you pack a coat during winter as winds whip in straight off the Southern Ocean. Insider knowledge: Warrnambool has its own quirks - a party pie at a bakery is known as a nibble pie and if you're camping at the Surfside 1 or 2 caravan parks down by the beach, don't be surprised if your neighbours are from the city itself. Non-Warrnamboolians will never understand the sheer joy that comes with holidaying in your hometown. Camping at home is done by an astonishing amount of locals over summer each year.
