City insight: Geelong
Geelong is a port city on Corio Bay in Victoria, about an hour from Melbourne, with a revitalised waterfront, a long bayside path and easy access to the Surf Coast and the Great Ocean Road. The climate is temperate and changeable, with summers (December to February) warm and often windy, autumn (March to May) mild and settled, winters (June to August) cool and showery, and spring (September to November) fresh. Autumn and spring suit racing best; summer days can turn hot quickly, and a bay breeze is common. It is easily reached from Melbourne by train or road.
