“Flagstaff Hill Maritime Village is built around the state heritage-listed Warrnambool Lighthouse, established in 1858. The museum recently underwent a major redevelopment, including interactive digital installations and a full upgrade of the Sound and Light show, now called Tales of the Shipwreck Coast. Flagstaff Hill is home to hundreds of relics from Warrnambool’s past. Several buildings feature digital displays where you can learn about life in the 19th century. Holding Victoria’s most extensive marine and shipwreck collection, the village’s standout piece is the $4 million Loch Ard Peacock, a priceless relic from the wreck of the Loch Ard, which was lost in 1878 at the famous Loch Ard Gorge. The village also offers guided tours.”
