Victoria's second-largest city, Geelong has a population of more than 210,000. Its only an hour's drive from Melbourne & the gateway to the Great Ocean Road.

The city's Waterfront features many cafes & restaurants, restored art deco seawater baths, a yacht club & a bayside promenade.

The region changed forever once white settlement started in the early 1800s. Today, there are many ways of gaining a glimpse into the region's sometimes turbulent & raucous past.

Geelong has a long & colourful history. Its original inhabitants were members of various clans of the Wathaurong tribe who had inhabited the region for more than 25,000 years before white explorers arrived.

Geelong's founders have left a legacy of beautiful parks & gardens close to the city centre. They are wonderful places where you can relax & enjoy tranquil surroundings all year.
