Winter is in full swing here in the South West, with our routines now surrounding cloudy days and much-needed rain. Whilst the temperature gets colder there's still plenty of reasons to head out 🚙.

Tower Hill is a great stop on a wintery afternoon, with the crater walk giving stunning views especially if there's a bit of water 🍃🌦. If it's get too wet for your liking, the drive in-and-out is still a great activity.

All locals know when it rains (especially when it REALLY rains) the first place to go is Hopkins Falls 🌧. With multiple viewing platforms and only a 10 minute drive from the top of town, it can be a spectacular cabin-fever breaker 🏃🏠.

Whales are popping up all along the coast, and Logan's Beach is Warrnambool's place to go. Grab your cameras, binoculars, beanies and coats, it's worth rugging up to see these majestic giants - who believe it or not come to the WARMER waters of the south west to calve 🐋🐋!

There is a Southern Right Whale at Logan’s 🐳🐋

Logan’s Beach has a visitor! 🐋

There’s a Southern Right Whale hanging just offshore this morning 💙

📸 And let’s be real: Photographing a Southern Right Whale is 10% patience, 90% yelling “NOW! WAIT—NOPE!” at your phone.

Got the shot? Share it around! Drop your pics in the comments 👇 Or if it was a total blur — we want to see those too.

Right now, this gentle giant at Logan’s Beach is taking her sweet time – just floating, rolling, and reminding us why Warrnambool is up for Victoria’s Top Tourism Town 🏆
