  • 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.
