Experience the fascinating history of the Shipwreck Coast with a visit to Flagstaff Hill Maritime Village.

Containing over 10,000 artefacts, the Flagstaff Hill maritime collection is the largest of its kind in Victoria. Central to this is the stunning Minton Peacock sculpture which remarkably survived the wreck of the Loch Ard, a sailing
ship which met its demise at Loch Ard Gorge, a highlight when visiting the Great Ocean Road.

Discover the many historical treasures and stories of the Shipwreck Coast within our museum, village and heritage precinct.

As night falls, step inside the village to experience the dramatic stories of Australia's rich maritime history, told vividly through the multimillion-dollar Sound and Light experience. Tales of the Shipwreck Coast takes you on a journey through the ages. From local creation stories to their colourful whaling past then to events that gave their coastline a reputation that inspired fear and trepidation among mariners. See the village come to life and experience the stories through projections onto a nine-metre water wall.
