This faithfully reproduced map of Warrnambool, Victoria, originally published in 1948, offers a detailed snapshot of the coastal city during a period of post-war growth and regional development. The map captures the structure of the town and its surrounding districts, with clearly marked roads, rail lines, coastal features, and land divisions that reflect mid-century life in southwest Victoria.
Positioned along the rugged Southern Ocean coastline, Warrnambool had by this time grown into a key port and service centre for the Western District. This map reflects that era—when rail transport, agriculture, and maritime trade shaped the rhythm of daily life in the region.
Reproduced from original archival materials, this print preserves the character of the original cartography—offering fine detail, authentic typography, and a strong sense of place. A fitting piece for lovers of Australian regional history, cartography collectors, or anyone with personal ties to Warrnambool and the Great Ocean Road region.
Fun Fact: In 1948, Warrnambool was a thriving coastal hub, with steam rail still active and the dairy industry powering much of the local economy.
