Beautiful spot in Warrnambool to sit and watch the world go by. It’s a local favourite to sit in the car and eat your lunch or just chill for half an hour. Also good for a bit of a walk around to checkout the monuments and information around the area.

A nice place to sit in your car and enjoy your lunch. Has some display military guns there as well as a few small monuments. It was very popular when we were there. The view is also the best in Warrnambool.
You can have a very good view from here. A should-visit place in Warrnambool!
