Geelong: The City By The Bay
** Late posting
Written before pandemic days...
This is the City of Geelong, the last leg of our 5-in-1 tour of South West Victoria.
It is the 2nd largest city in the state of Victoria and an hour-drive from Melbourne.
It used to be home to Ford Motors and Shell Oil Refinery.
With a stunning view of Corio Bay, the iconic Cunningham Pier, the attractive sculptures spread out near the waterfront and the exciting rides at Adventure Park, you certainly will fall in love with the place. And keep coming back.
