Review:
Geelong is a charming city located just southwest of Melbourne, known for its beautiful bay waterfront and recently-revitalized downtown district. The city's Waterfront esplanade is home to a lovely Art Deco-style boardwalk, a preserved 19th-century carousel, and sea bath facilities at Eastern Beach. Cultural institutions include the National Wool Museum, which hosts rotating exhibitions related to the city's textile and manufacturing industries. Converted wool mill spaces and manufacturing buildings now house hip bars, cafes, boutiques, art galleries, and nightlife destinations, including acclaimed local microbreweries like Little Creatures Brewery and White Rabbit Brewery and Barrel Hall. Some of Australia's best dining destinations line the city's downtown neighborhoods, including winery restaurants like Oakdene Vineyards Restaurant and the Shed Restaurant at Terindah Estate. Map
