  • Geelong & the Bellarine
    acedon Ranges Geelong & The Bellarine Geelong, Victoria’s second largest city, pulses to its own distinctive beat. The lively waterfront has prime position on a north-facing bay, rare in the Southern Hemisphere. Across Geelong, old industrial spaces have been reinvented as new galleries and on-trend cafés. Just 20 minutes from the Geelong city centre, the Bellarine Peninsula offers golden-sand beaches, al fresco dining, just- caught seafood and local boutique wineries with some of the most striking views across the bay back to Melbourne. Geelong and The Bellarine is part of the GSTR (Great Southern Touring Route) and Go Beyond Melbourne. Kardinia Park Kardinia Park is a sporting and entertainment venue located in South Geelong. The stadium, which is owned and operated by the Kardinia Park Stadium Trust, is the home ground of the Geelong Football Club. TOP ATTRACTIONS Little Malop Street Precinct The Little Malop Street precinct is emerging as Geelong’s coolest spot to eat, drink and enjoy the good things about the city. It’s culture central with an edge. The new Geelong Library and Heritage Centre is the most striking piece of architecture in town. Tech meets tradition in a library evolving beyond its books. Next door is the Geelong Gallery, while across the road the Geelong Performing Arts Centre is a hub of theatre, music and drama for the region. The next block of Little Malop Street then shifts from eyes and ears to bellies, with a bunch of great places to eat and drink within a few hundred Narana Aboriginal Cultural Centre metres.

  • February 2021 MMHN Update These Are Clearly Perplexing
    Melbourne – A Great Maritime City February 2021 MMHN Update These are clearly perplexing, unpredictable and unprecedented times. Just when we thought ‘it safe to go back into the water’ so to speak and that the pandemic tide had ebbed enabling a return to near normality, yet another COVID variant mysteriously penetrated our quarantine strategies and we face Lockdown again. We are grappling with mysterious, invisible viral mutations. And of course, perplexing, unpredictable and, dare I say, unfathomable (!) maritime heritage mysteries also confound us at sea. For example: BASS STRAIT TRIANGLE aka The Great Ship Swallower’ In his book Mysteries of the Bass Strait Triangle J.K. Loney describes the terrible toll it [Bass Strait] has taken of ships, aircraft and men in less than 200 years. Loney poses the question: Do mysterious forces exert a power over this stretch of water to ruthlessly destroy with no logical explanation? Noting a century or so ago seafarers reported sighting more sea monsters in the waters around Australia than any other oceans of the globe. In modern times these tales have been replaced by stories of UFOs… We are assured that all incidents described here have been carefully researched and documented some might say that it is quite easy (but less fun) to understand why sailing in Bass Strait was lethal. Squeezed between the northern coastline of Tasmania and Victoria’s central to eastern coast, Bass Strait is studded with islands, leading to unpredictable sea conditions - Winds, tides and shallow waters result in tall, yet short, waves and the short swell often churns in conflicting directions.
