Mindful meoweler tips

Geelong is the second largest city in Victoria

With a population of over 250,000, Geelong is a bustling coastal city that is home to a number of cultural institutions and stunning natural attractions.

The bollards along the waterfront are not just decoration

Once used as buffers between ships and the wharf, these brightly painted wooden sculptures now serve as colorful markers for the many walking and cycling trails along the Geelong waterfront.

Geelong is known for its lively arts and culture scene

From festivals to galleries to theater productions, there is always a cultural event happening in Geelong. Check out the Geelong Arts Centre or wander through the many street art installations throughout the city.

The Surf Coast is just a short drive away

Take a day trip to the nearby Surf Coast and visit iconic Australian surf towns like Torquay and Bells Beach. End the day with a swim in the beautiful waters of the Great Ocean Road.

Try some of the local seafood delicacies

Geelong is situated right on Corio Bay and is known for its fresh seafood offerings. Be sure to try the locally caught snapper or mussels at one of the many seafood restaurants in the city.
