Morwell: Camden Airport

Built around a railway station on the Gippsland line, Morwell grew into a centre of the Latrobe Valley’s brown-coal and power-generating industry. The town lies north of the Strzelecki Ranges and close to the Morwell River, in a district shaped by energy production, farming and transport links between Melbourne and eastern Gippsland. The former Hazelwood Power Station and its open-cut mine remain central to the local story: the station closed in 2017, while rehabilitation of the mine continues. South of town, Morwell National Park protects native forest on the ranges. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of the Latrobe Valley.

Among Australia’s regions, Victoria stands out for the remarkable variety packed between the Murray River and Bass Strait. The state combines fertile northern plains, the Central Victorian Goldfields, the forested Great Dividing Range and a long southern coast. Bendigo and Ballarat grew rapidly during the gold rushes of the 1850s, while Melbourne developed into Victoria’s cultural and economic centre. Along the southwest, the Great Ocean Road follows a dramatic stretch of coastline, contrasting with the farmland and river country inland. See how Victoria belongs within southeastern Australia by browsing webcams across the region.

Australia’s terrain extends from tropical rainforests in the northeast to arid plains in the interior, producing dramatic climatic contrasts. The Great Dividing Range follows much of the eastern coast, while the Great Barrier Reef lies off Queensland in the Coral Sea and Uluru rises from the central desert. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples maintain living cultures whose connections to Country long predate European settlement. In Sydney, the sail-like Opera House, completed in 1973, stands beside one of the world’s best-known harbours. Discover further points of interest through webcams located across Australia.
