🇦🇺 Geelong Day Trip: Coastal Charm & Vintage Treasures

Just 1 hour from Melbourne, Geelong is a postcard-perfect seaside escape—whether you drive 🚗 or take the V/Line train (runs every 40 mins!). Here’s how we spent the day: 🌊 Must-Do Stops 1️⃣ Eastern Beach Mini Ferris Wheel 🎡: Small but speedy—golden hour photos guaranteed! Bollard Trail: Quirky painted statues along the shore (Geelong’s signature!). 2️⃣ Vintage Market 🕰️ A time capsule of retro toys, vinyl records, antique books, and more—treasure hunter’s paradise! 🍽️ Foodie Wins at Sailor’s Rest Jack Sparrow: Silky beef ragù + runny poached egg = heaven. 🥩🍳 Fettuccine Marinara: Overflowing with squid, prawns 🦐, mussels & scallops—tastes like the ocean! Pro tip: Book online to skip queues! 🚗 Getting There Drive: M1 highway (1hr). Train: V/Line from Southern Cross Station (1hr, frequent departures). #Geelong #MelbourneDayTrip #SeafoodLover #VintageVibes
