Geelong is a lively regional hub, Victoria’s second city within an hour’s drive of the capital. Day or night, the Geelong Waterfront is a mecca for locals and visitors – an eye-pleasing precinct for boating, sailing, sightseeing, dining, dancing and shopping. There are arty bollards to explore, a yester-year carousel to ride and an old-fashioned semicircle boardwalk to promenade.
