🇦🇺 Geelong as The Great Ocean Road’s First Stop? Meh. 🐔

Let’s be real—Geelong is fine, but as the first stop on the Great Ocean Road, it’s kinda… underwhelming? 😅 🔄 My Geelong Itinerary: 🎡 Giant Sky Wheel & Waterfront Walk – Cute, but nothing mind-blowing. 📸 Colorful Bollard Art – Quirky photo ops, but… it’s just wooden statues? ⛲ "XHS-Famous" Fountain – Looked like a basic tourist trap, so I skipped it. 🎣 Geelong Pier – Saw some Chinese locals fishing and jellyfish floating below 🐙 (cooler than the town itself tbh). 🤷 My Honest Take: Geelong gets hyped up as this "charming, artsy coastal gem"... but honestly? It’s just a regular Western seaside town—not worth a special trip if you’re short on time. ✨ For Great Ocean Road roadtrippers: ✅ Quick stretch-your-legs stop? Sure. ✅ Detour just for Geelong? Nah. #GreatOceanRoad #AustraliaTravel #MelbourneDayTrip #OverratedOrNot #KeepItReal #TravelTruths
