Werribee is a city and suburb which is situated on the Werribee River 31 km south-west of Melbourne, near Port Phillip Bay. The City of Werribee includes Little River, Hoppers Crossing, Laverton (a growing industrial centre) and Point Cook. The latter has a large air force base. Werribee itself is located on a section of the old Princes Highway which has been bypassed by the Princes Freeway. It is now part of the residential/industrial sprawl of the outer Melbourne metropolitan area. Werribee South is a patchwork quilt of market gardens.
