Wonthaggi Primary School is located in the town of Wonthaggi, 120 km. south east of Melbourne. Originally a coal mining town, the town is now the centre of a rich dairying, farming and tourist area.
Wonthaggi is the gateway to many marvellous beaches and the Bunurong Marine Park which includes much of the nearby coast and extends one kilometre out to sea. Wonthaggi is the largest town in South West Gippsland and services a large area. It is also the home of the 'State Coal Mine', a unique tourist attraction, where visitors can go underground to view part of the original mine and visit the museum.
