Flagstaff Hill Maritime Village is Warrnambool's premier attraction providing the vital link between the culture and heritage of the Shipwreck Coast and the contemporary Great Ocean Road experience.

BY DAY...an interactive, 1870s maritime village & museum. Flagstaff Hill's State Heritage listed site and maritime village is set on 10 acres and reflects the pioneering atmosphere of an 1870's coastal port.

Experience first hand the perils of early sea travel as you explore The Gravesend Theatre, audiovisual presentations, interactive displays, and the relics & treasures recovered from various shipwrecks in the Great Circle Gallery, and of course the priceless Minton earthenware statue, the Loch Ard Peacock, Australia's most valuable shipwreck relic.

The Flagstaff Hill Maritime Village also contains the state heritage listed Lady Bay Lighthouse complex and Warrnambool Garrison area. Some of the world's rarest and most significant cannons are contained in the Warrnambool Garrison area.

By Day, it takes visitors on a rich journey of discovery through an early Australian coastal port. The Great Circle Gallery displays some of Australia's most valuable shipwreck artefacts, including the State Heritage Registered LOCH ARD Peacock.

The Lady Bay Lighthouse complex is also State Heritage Listed and allows you to climb the Upper Lady Bay Lighthouse.

The Maritime Village also details the heritage of the trades that flourished along this coastline from the 1850's.

By Night, step onboard the clipper Loch Ard that was involved in Australia's most dramatic shipwreck. The world class sound and laser show takes you on a journey as the wild seas take the lives of all but two young teenagers - it's the voyage of a lifetime! Experience Shipwrecked!!

Flagstaff Hill Maritime Village is located in the heart of Warrnambool, over looking Lady Bay, and located halfway in between the beach and city, only 5 mins walk to either.

It is also a short walk from the Warrnambool Railway Station.
