We had a busy week exploring Warrnambool and the surrounding areas.
Last Sunday, the Pastor at Liber8 church in Warrnambool told Shane about Tower hill, so we took his advice and checked it out. Tower Hill is just outside of Warrnambool.
Tower Hill is an enormous inactive volcano and it is surrounded by a lake and full of beautiful wildlife. You can walk around the rim of the volcanic crater (which we did), it is a spectacular place to visit. There are 4 different trails, we did one of them and we will be going back to do the rest of them, have a picnic/bbq, and spend the day there sometime this week.
When we first arrived to the car park area, we were greeted with quite a few emus just walking around the car park and surrounding bush. It was beautiful a sight.

On this part of the sign you are advised to make yourself appear big if an emu runs towards you. We seen a few people making themselves appear big by putting one of their arms up above their head for the fun of it. The emus don't like this so they run the other way.
Our Journey to the last volcano begins. This 1 hour walk was the most difficult of all the walks. We walked up many steep hills, and seen quite a bit of wildlife along the way. We spotted a snake slither from the side of the path into the bush, we saw a tiny lizard, a couple more emus in the bush and a whole lot of bird life. It was a beautiful walk.

What a Fanatastic time we had at Tower Hill. The walk was a little challenging (we like a bit of a challenging walk), great scenery, beautiful wildlife and a chance to take a heap of photos, Wonderful!
I hope you enjoyed our pics.
Have a GREAT day and Take Care,

Watch the emu's with the BBQ! I had more than 1 sausage stolen. No amount of shoowing them off worked. We ate our lunch in the car in the end. The kids were really frightened by them as the food factor makes them loose any fear of man and they get quite aggressive. Once the food was away they were fine. There's a really good lookout just down the road as you leave the tower Hill entrance too. Well worth the view!
