Wonthaggi & Warragul Mosque
Your Local Mosque, Just Down the Highway
Wonthaggi is the major centre of the Bass Coast — a growing coastal town that draws families from right across the southern Gippsland coast. Despite its size, Wonthaggi has no mosque, and Muslim families here have faced a choice between extremely long drives toward Melbourne or deep into the Latrobe Valley. Warragul Mosque, 65 kilometres to the north, is the closest mosque to Wonthaggi and Bass Coast communities by a significant margin. A 50-minute drive brings you to Friday Jummah, daily prayers, and a warm community that welcomes all.
