St Mary of the Angels

Reviewed By AlejaNZro - Auckland, New Zealand

St Mary of the Angels Basilica on Yarra Street is an impressive major landmark in the city. The stone building is hard to miss due to it being the tallest in the city. The interior is equally impressive.

13th Beach

Reviewed By DrGreyhound - City of Greater Geelong, Australia

Terrific road out of Barwon Heads follows the length of 13th beach. Taking it in fast (in car), medium (stop at lookouts) or slow (walk beach). Sunsets are a drawcard to watch and savour.

Reviewed By Radjoc947 - Grovedale, Australia

A great place for a family day at the beach. Spacious lawn area ideal for a picnic, great facilities for the kids from the youngest to adults. Children's pool for the little ones, makes a safe environment for families. Cafe with take away food on site. Established in 1938 but upgraded only a few years back, it has always been popular with locals and visitors alike.

Serendip Sanctuary

Reviewed By DrGreyhound - City of Greater Geelong, Australia

Ok had some fun with the title but entry was disturbing to Sanctuary with a masked Ranger taking my contact details. Breathe ... stroll ... watch :) The beautiful “Wildlife walk” I never get tired of. A great place to bring kids. Today I enjoyed the peace and solitude. Nature calms. Wallaby so cute.

Little Creatures Brewing P/L

Reviewed By BeccyI18 - Jindera, Australia

Wow! The food was amazing(especially the lamb pizza!), great craft beer be sure to try the Rasberry beer!!) and the service was exceptional! The staff happily chatted with our 2.5 year old about his colouring in and chips, really made us feel welcome, which was great as we were unsure about taking a 2.5 year old to a brewery. Upon leaving, one of the staff (Amanda I think it was) asked me for my phone so she could take some photos of the 3 of us 'making memories ' which was nice instead of one of us hiding behind the camera! Great atmosphere and even a little sand pit for the kids! Would definitely recommend coming here and we will return for sure!!
