Amazing aboriginal cultural experience by Anthony and the cafe owner who made traditional delicious lemon myrtle scones for our morning tea- fantastic experience to take our overseas guests. They learnt about tools, culture, land, stories, listened to the didgeridoo, learnt how to throw a boomerang and met and fed native animals - emus, kangaroo and wallabies. Super interactive, very accommodating and so friendly. Loved it and nightly recommendation it to everyone.

Cunningham Pier

Reviewed By scott1928 - Dudley, United Kingdom

What an awesome area this is. Picturesque views abound. From boats in the harbour to the glistening sea, to the helicopter rides. Everything about this place is nice. Only downside was when we ventured in to town we felt uncomfortable with the locals staring at us. But we had no bother during our stay here.

Fyansford Silo Art

Reviewed By Geelongites - Geelong, Australia

Visited the silos on 28th March 2020, as the demolition had started. Revisited 13th May 2020. The silos are now rubble. Five star review as they were great while they were there, but even Rone (the artist) knew the artwork might not be there forever.

The Old Paper Mills

Reviewed By rosef444 - Berwick, Australia

I was staying at Geelong for the weekend and came across The old paper mill. I found it charming. It had an artist studio there which had a lot interesting things in there. It also had a winery which you can buy. A lovely little place to visit.

Kardinia Park

Reviewed By TheSaint625 - Melbourne, Australia

First time visit to the pool complex at Kardinia Park and was suitably impressed. Two 50 metre pools and hardly anyone in either pool - 2.00pm is a great time to go. All amenities were well maintained and staff were friendly. I will certainly go back again when in the area.
