CRUISES CLICK ON THE ICONS ON The Hopkins River The Hopkins River is one of Warrnambool's greatest natural treasures. For the past 150 years visitors and locals have enjoyed the tranquility offered by this unique river system. With its high cliffs and abundant bird life as well as many historic buildings there truly is something to interest all passengers. The Hopkins River originates near Ararat in Western Victoria and winds its way through the western district connecting up with the southern ocean on the east side of Warrnambool. It is a significant river system with a catchment area of 8650 square kilometres and an annual discharge of 300 million cubic metres of water. Fisherman and bird enthusiasts alike will find a great range of both fish and bird life on the Hopkins River such as black brim, estuarine perch and sea mullet. Also home to white faced heron, black duck, little pied cormorant, pelicans and royal spoon bill. During the months of June, July and August the Hopkins River mouth and surrounding beaches become a safe nursery to the playful southern right whales. Which can be viewed clearly from the Hopkins mouth or from Logans Beach whale platform. |
