Geelong, Port city in Victoria, Australia
Located 75 kilometers southwest of Melbourne, Geelong extends along Corio Bay with parks, promenades, and recreational facilities near the water.
The settlement, established in 1838, rapidly expanded during the Victorian gold rush of the 1850s when it functioned as a central port for regional trade.
The Geelong Arts Center presents regular performances, exhibitions, and events, while the National Wool Museum displays the historical significance of wool production.
Transportation networks include regular train services to Melbourne, local bus routes throughout the city, and easy access to the Great Ocean Road.
The city name originates from the Wadawurrung word 'Djilang', with the Indigenous people maintaining strong connections to the region through educational programs.
