About Geelong

Geelong, home to the Geelong Football Club, the second oldest club in the AFL is located about 75km south-west from Melbournes CBD. It is the second largest Victorian city, with an estimated population of just over 192,000 as of June 2016.

Geelong's location earns itself the unofficial title of ‘The Gateway City’ due to its central proximity to surrounding Victorian regional centres, like Ballarat in the north west, Torquay, Great Ocean Road and Warrnambool in the southwest, Hamilton, Colac and Winchelsea to the west, and the state capital of Melbourne in the northeast.

Getting around Geelong is easy, as it is well-connected by roads to all of south-west Victoria, by the Princes Freeway, the Princes Highway, the Bellarine Highway, the Midland Highway, the Hamilton Highway and The Geelong Ring Road (an extension of the Princes Freeway) Avalon Airport is located about 15 km north-east of the city of Geelong. And just this year (2019) landed its first international flights. It is also home to the Australian International Airshow every other year.
