Perched on Merri Street, Cannon Hill offers panoramic views over Lake Pertobe, Lady Bay, and the ocean beyond. This scenic reserve is located near the Warrnambool Visitor Centre and Flagstaff Hill Maritime Museum, making it easily accessible for visitors exploring the area.
Cannon Hill holds historical significance as part of Australia’s coastal defence system in the 1800s, set up in response to fears of a Russian invasion. Today, the site retains some of the original cannons, which are aimed towards the sea, offering visitors a tangible connection to the past.
Limited picnic facilities, including coin-operated BBQs, are available on-site.
