Connewarre: Barwon Heads - YBRS -> North
Barwon Heads Airport occupies flat grazing country on the Bellarine Peninsula at Connewarre, Victoria. This small airfield serves the coastal district around Barwon Heads and Ocean Grove, close to the lower Barwon River as it approaches Bass Strait. Lake Connewarre and its adjoining wetlands form an important part of the local setting; they belong to the Port Phillip Bay (Western Shoreline) and Bellarine Peninsula Ramsar site. Farmland, low scrub and estuarine country give this stretch of the peninsula its open character. At the river mouth, the Barwon Heads Bridge links Barwon Heads with Ocean Grove, a familiar local landmark between the river communities. The airport supports recreational flying and connects aviation activity with the wider Bellarine–Surf Coast area.

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.

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.
