Koroit: Warrnambool Airport

Koroit has served as a rural service town in western Victoria since the mid-19th century. It stands on volcanic plains between Warrnambool and Tower Hill, an extinct volcano whose crater contains a lake and forms the Tower Hill Wildlife Reserve. The area is part of Gunditjmara Country, and later Irish settlement remains central to Koroit’s local identity. The annual Koroit Irish Festival marks that heritage through music, dance and community gatherings. Compact streets and farming land give the town a distinctly Western District character, while the coast lies close to the south.

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.
