Geelong – the town

Geelong MapOnly one hour's drive from Melbourne, Geelong is Victoria's second largest city with an urban population of 190,000 and is the gateway to the Great Ocean Road.

A lively commercial city, with shopping facilities, restaurants, nightlife and recreation on a par with any capital city, Geelong overlooks Corio Bay that was once the world's largest wool shipping port.

This legacy remains in the exceptional bank of wool science knowledge within CSIRO and attractions such as the National Wool Museum.
