Point Ritchie situated at the mouth of the Hopkins River in Warrnambool, a city of 34,000 in Victoria’s south-west.
It’s the perfect vantage point to check out Lady Bay to the Breakwater and to look over the Hopkins River and the rugged, wild coastline to the east.
The mouth of the Hopkins widens dramatically before it reaches the sea, this stretch of the river, flanked by walking tracks and sandy beaches, is the Bluehole, a popular place to walk, swim, fish or all of the above.
