The major port city of Geelong is the largest regional city in the state of Victoria and is located on Corio Bay, approximately 75km southwest from Melbourne.

In recent times, Geelong has seen a revival of sorts with the revamping of a stunning waterfront featuring splendid beaches, restaurants and bars.

The city balances its role as an industrial centre with its edgy lifestyle facilitated by lounge bars, boutique shops, galleries, parklands and a lively nightlife.
