Geelong, Australia is a one-hour drive from the throbbing heart of Melbourne city. This post-wool era metropolis introduces you to the Great Ocean Road, Bells Beach, the rolling hills of Bellarine and, of course, the Geelong Football Club.
Geelong and football go hand in hand (or is it hand and foot?) as far as Australian Rules is concerned. This club has a long history of success and drama within this popular code of ball play. But Geelong has so much more to offer.
Picture a visit to the National Wool Museum, a stroll through Geelong’s very own Botanical Gardens or a wine tasting tour at a variety of local wineries. Geelong, Victoria is a great location to spend a picturesque, historical and relaxed vacation and offers sensational year round weather.
To fully enjoy the Geelong scenery, consider hiring a car and with a map of Geelong in hand, explore the breathtaking landscape at your leisure.
