Geelong Travel Guide

 7 Reviews  From my emails at the time: "A diffused sun pushed its wan light below the clouds as I surveyed the morning scene overlooking the bay and pondered the advantages of a motorhome; parked here with million dollar views and not a soul to disturb me though I knew that would change. Behind me was Geelong... 

 15 Reviews  The road starts at Torquay and ends at Allansford . Drive along the Great Ocean Road (243 kms long) and see the 12 Apostles, limestone stack formations that are a little way out, standing in the ocean. There are also several blow holes and naturally formed caves to see. 

 6 Reviews  Now, a 'wool' museum may not sound like a lot of fun - but this will give you some insight into Australian culture (both now and in the 19th Century) - this is not just a museum full of different types of yarn. It was also a place we would always go to on a school trip and here's why: "The... 

 2 Reviews  This photo is of Geelongs Aussies Football team . One of the high lights of Aussies rules is going for a screamer (taking a mark) photo is from alf.com.au. You have to be pretty silly to go to Kadina Park when you Barrack for Collingwood as I do. My mate magpies and i went down there last a couple... 

 4 Reviews  This place really is a wharf shed - it has huge windows with views of the waterfront (which is less than 5 metres away - you're right on the bay). It's an open - very casual - kind of place with a beach/bush feel to it. Service is efficient and prompt and the staff are very friendly. (4 of my... 

 3 Reviews  This is above the inner entry way. There's also a little Egyptian souvenir shop. Then the door leads in to the Gaming Room/Bistro, which is also decorated with Tutankhamen and other Egyptian things like framed egyptian pictures on the wall, and even Tutankhamen heads featured all over the carpet. 

 3 Reviews  This is a lovely spot for that special occasion. We were fortunate to get a table by the window which overlooks the Bay. The candlelit tables, fresh linen, comfortable chairs and mellow music makes for a romantic yet very comfortable setting. The service is fantastic with the waiting staff quick to... 

 4 Reviews  Red Rum Film Society screens movies for members on the first Tuesday of each month at Beav's Bar, 77 Little Malop Street Geelong. Expect to see films that don't often make it to the major cinemas in town. Grab a glass of wine and pick out a comfy couch, then sit back and relax. Red Rum screens a... 

 1 Review  The Benders buses (local buses to suburbs in Geelong) and McHarrys (which go down to Torquay and Anglesea, etc) now operate on the myki system. It is an electronic card so you swipe on when you enter the bus and swipe off when you leave and it calculates the lowest fare for your trip (which is... 

 1 Review  Too often people drive right through Geelong on their way to the famous surf beaches. With money being poured into redevelopment in Geelong (especially the waterfront) Geelong is fast becoming one of Australias most beautiful, modern exciting cities. Without forgetting the past Geelong is moving... 

 6 Reviews  The Bellarine Peninsula - Meander around the Bellarine Peninsula - a trip of about 86 kilometres. The Bellarine Peninsula follows the Portarlington Road out of Geelong to historic Drysdale and to nearby Clifton Springs. Then you can drive to Portarlington, through the rolling Peninsula Hills, with... 

 10 Reviews  All the parks along the foreshore are lovely. Palm trees, as well as shade trees are everywhere. During the summertime, it can get a little crowded here, as there are many visitors from the surrounding regions, as well as Melbourne. 

 12 Reviews  The whole Great Ocean road is great, though not everyone has time to see it in its entirety. I'd recommend starting the trip at the trendy surf town of Torquay with its world famous competition surf beach, Bells Beach. The next major small town on the map is Anglesea, more of a fishing town and...
