In this true colour swipe comparison, colours appear as close as they would naturally to the human eye. Urban areas appear grey to white, trees and grasslands as shades of green and yellow, and water bodies as dark blue to black. Residential expansion of Warrnambool has occurred predominately to the west in Dennington, and in the northwest above Albert Park Reserve. Similarly, rural residential development has been in the surrounding small towns such as Bushfield. Industrial and Business development has been mainly concentrated in the west, just below Dennington. Also notice the construction of a Deakin University campus on the banks of the Hopkins River.
