Warrnambool
Major port on the coast of Western Victoria
Warrnambool is a coastal city located on Lady Bay 260 km south-west of Melbourne via the Princes Highway and 21 metres above sea-level. It is bounded by two rivers: the Merri to the west and the Hopkins to the east. Both reach the ocean on opposite sides of the city. Warrnambool is an important manufacturing and distribution centre although it has managed to retain a relaxed seaside feel. Its natural advantages render it a popular family destination in summer and tourism is certainly a major aid to the local economy. The current population is 28 000.

Warrnambool is known for its rugs and blankets. Other local industries include milk-processing and dairy product plants (including one of Australia's largest), a woollen mill which dates back to 1874 and the Fletcher Jones clothing company which has its national headquarters here.

Warrnambool is noted for its safe, sheltered beaches, its moderate climate, its parks and gardens, one of the finest racecourses in the state, and Logans Beach where southern right whales come within view of the shoreline to give birth each year between June and October. Surf, rock, sea and river fishing are popular, particularly at Levys Beach, Killarney Beach and the Hopkins and Merri rivers, and there are several fishing competitions in the course of the year. The sizeable Warrnambool campus of Deakin University has also ensured a decent nightlife for the city.

Warrnambool's name comes from the language of the Kuurn Kopan Noot people who occupied the area for thousands of years prior to European settlement. It is said to mean 'two swamps' though another interpretation is 'ample water'.

The first known European to visit Lady Bay was the French navigator and explorer Nicolas Baudin in 1802. Whalers and sealers utilised the bay on a seasonal basis in the 1830s and Lady Bay was surveyed and named by whalers in 1844.

Permanent European settlement in the area began with graziers such as the Boldens and Thomas Manifold in the early 1840s. 'Rolf Boldrewood' (a/k/a Thomas Alexander Browne), arguably Australia's first novelist of note, camped by the mouth of the Merri River for six months while overlanding stock in 1842. His account of this experience was recorded in Old Melbourne Memories (1884).

The townsite began to emerge in the 1840s around Lady Bay which served as a natural harbour. A survey was carried out in 1846 and the township proclaimed the following year when the first land sales also occurred. Although it initially lost inhabitants to the 1850s goldrushes Warrnambool soon began to gain from the increased economic and demographic activity. The Warrnambool Examiner was established in 1851. J.F. Archibald, who later founded the Bulletin, started work on the Examiner in 1871, aged 14.

The first jetty was built in 1850 and Warrnambool emerged as an important port for the shipping of wool, wheat, potatoes, onions and dairy produce from the surrounding area. It benefited from the fact that the port at Port Fairy was privately owned. Warrnambool became a free port in 1854. It was gazetted as a municipality in 1855 (with a population of 1500), became a borough in 1863, a town in 1883 and a city in 1918.

Although lighthouses were built on Middle Island and Lady Bay Beach in 1859 there were numerous shipwrecks in the area. One wreck, frequently sighted to the west of town until 1880, was thought to be the remains of a 16th-century Portuguese vessel though it has since disappeared, presumably beneath shifting dunes. The greatest loss of life involved a motor launch called the Nestor which sank in Hopkins River, near Warrnambool, in 1921 with ten lives lost.

The lighthouses were moved to Flagstaff Hill in 1871-72 and gun emplacements were added in the 1880s, as they were at many coastal sites in Australia, due to widespread contemporary fears of a Russian invasion.

A local woollen mill was established by public subscription in 1874. It burned down in 1882 and reopened in 1910 and is still operating today.

A breakwater was built from 1876 to 1890 but chronic silting problems (caused or at least exacerbated by the breakwater) caused the mouth of the Merri River to almost close up and the natural harbour was rendered virtually unusable. In 1912 an attempt was made to dredge it and the breakwater was extended. However, after 100 metres were added, it collapsed and the project was abandoned. Consequently the port virtually ceased to operate in the 1920s. An attempt to reactivate it in 1944 failed. However, the silting up effectively extended the beaches, increasing its attractiveness to holiday-makers.

Meanwhile the railway arrived in 1890 and the Merri River Water Supply Scheme provided a reliable water supply to the town in 1893.

The Fletcher Jones clothing factory opened in 1948 with an unusual degree of staff involvement in management decisions. Warrnambool is still the headquarters of the company which is a major local employer.

A footnote to the town's history involves 'Waltzing Matilda' - one of Australia's best-known tunes and lyrics. A woman named Christina Macpherson attended the Warrnambool races in 1894. There she heard the Warrnambool garrison artillery playing the Scottish tune 'Bonnie Wood of Craigielea'. She was a friend of Sara Riley, the fiancee of 'Banjo' Paterson, and it is from Ms Macpherson's piano repertoire that Paterson is said to have heard 'Bonnie Wood' which he allegedly adapted to his lyric for 'Waltzing Matilda'. Others have questioned whether this particular melody is the one that is most commonly known today.

Annual events include the Summer Music Festival in January, the Wunta Fiesta (a celebration of seafood and wine) in February, the Victorian Heritage Festival in March, a racing carnival in May which includes the Grand Annual Steeplechase (Australia's longest horse race), the Rhapsody in June Music Festival, the Warrnambool Show and the Melbourne to Warrnambool Road Cycling Classic in October and, in November, the City Art Show at Emmanuel College Hall in Ardlie St and Federation Fair at the Botanic Gardens. Undercover markets are held every Sunday morning at the showgrounds in Koroit St. The Hillside Market venue is the showgrounds in Koroit St on the second Sunday in the month.
