Geelong city is a very nice place. It has a long fresh air beach with a lot of seagulls flying around and basking in the sun. It is a city for people who love running and cycling. A city where you can come back to nature with many kinds of birds such as Cockatoos, Magpies...

I stayed the night as I was catching the Spirit of Tasmania early the following morning. I would have been very happy to have spent longer to explore Geelong. Where I stayed was very convenient, quiet and easy walking distance to restaurants.

We grew up in Geelong but have moved away due to some circumstances. I would move back anytime. Close to surf beaches.I havnt surfed for years but would give it a go. Lots of places to eat and many things to see and do

The waterfront is lovely; Eastern beach has beautiful park surrounds that reflect an elegance of an earlier era; many restaurants with great cuisine; art galleries; the botanic gardens are delightful.

Melbourne without the crowds. There are some great restaurants and cafe's in Geelong but without having to deal with the crowds of Melbourne. If you want to go to Melbourne we got a train which was easy and comfortable and took around 50 minutes. Great wineries nearby and if you want a day trip Great Ocean Road or Otway National Park are within a couple of hours drive.

We stop over regularly in Geelong to see family. However, I always enjoy taking in a few local site while we are there is this brings back lots of happy memories for me. I like to see the Spirit of Tasmania ship, the Waterfront, Cunningham Pier, Floating Christmas Tree, Carosel and Ferris Wheel. The area has undergone a lot of development in the past 45 years - it keeps getting better and better!
