Geelong

Few cities in Victoria have a history as closely tied to the wool trade as Geelong. Set on Corio Bay, an inlet of Port Phillip, the city developed into one of Australia’s major wool centres, a story documented at the National Wool Museum in a former 19th-century wool store. Its bayfront connects Cunningham Pier with the Eastern Beach bathing enclosure, while a series of painted bollard sculptures gives the promenade a distinctly local character. Geelong is also the home of the Geelong Cats, one of Australian rules football’s most enduring clubs. Seek out further points of interest through webcams across Geelong and Victoria.
