Geelong

Geelong is the second largest city in Victoria; located on Corio Bay south-west of the Melbourne CBD, and a short drive from the popular beach-front communities located on the Bellarine Peninsula.

Geelong’s proximity to the scenic Great Ocean Road makes it another popular destination for a tour or day trip.
