about Geelong

Geelong is a port city of 184,332 people (2001 census) on Corio Bay, 75 kilometres south-west of Melbourne in Victoria, Australia. It is covered by the municipality The City of Greater Geelong, and is Victoria's second-largest city. Despite its proximity to Melbourne and connection with a three-lane freeway, it remains physically, by many kilometres of undeveloped farmland, and psychologically separate from its much larger neighbour. Residents have their own independent local newspapers and radio stations and their own AFL club, (the Geelong Football Club).

The town's major industries include a Shell oil refinery, an Alcoa aluminium smelter and a Ford Motor Company engine plant. The Avalon Airport is several kilometres to the north-east.

Geelong is becoming well known within Australia for its emerging music scene; it has given birth to a number of major bands, such as Magic Dirt and Warped.

The nearby town of Torquay is the location of many surfing equipment and clothing manufacturers, notably Rip Curl, as well as some of Australia's finest surf beaches.

Along the coastline to the west is the Great Ocean Road.
