Geelong: St Helens Boat Ramp - Swinburne Street - Corio Bay

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.

Among Australia’s regions, Victoria stands out for the remarkable variety packed between the Murray River and Bass Strait. The state combines fertile northern plains, the Central Victorian Goldfields, the forested Great Dividing Range and a long southern coast. Bendigo and Ballarat grew rapidly during the gold rushes of the 1850s, while Melbourne developed into Victoria’s cultural and economic centre. Along the southwest, the Great Ocean Road follows a dramatic stretch of coastline, contrasting with the farmland and river country inland.

Australia’s terrain extends from tropical rainforests in the northeast to arid plains in the interior, producing dramatic climatic contrasts. The Great Dividing Range follows much of the eastern coast, while the Great Barrier Reef lies off Queensland in the Coral Sea and Uluru rises from the central desert. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples maintain living cultures whose connections to Country long predate European settlement. In Sydney, the sail-like Opera House, completed in 1973, stands beside one of the world’s best-known harbours. Discover further points of interest through webcams located across Australia.
