Barwon Heads, Coastal administrative division in City of Greater Geelong, Australia
Located on the west bank of the Barwon River, this administrative area extends across beaches, farmland, golf courses and the Murtnaghurt Lagoon wetland.
The name Barwon originates from Barrwang, a Wathaurong Aboriginal word meaning magpie, with European settlement beginning in Port Phillip during June 1835.
The region acknowledges its Aboriginal heritage through the Wadawurrung People, who maintain deep connections to the land, waterways, and surrounding territories.
The administrative division contains multiple sports facilities, including three golf courses ranked among Australia's top 50 public access courses by Ausgolf magazine.
The Barwon Heads Golf Club features a heritage-listed clubhouse, recognized by both National Trust and Heritage Victoria for its architectural elements.
