🇦🇺 Geelong Day Trip Guide from Melbourne

There are two ways to get to Geelong from Melbourne: 🚢 By ferry (2 hours / $24.5) 🚄 By train (1 hour / use Myki card) Recommend taking the ferry in the morning and returning by train in the evening! 🎡 Morning: Depart from Docklands Ferry Terminal (near Marvel Stadium) 📍 131 Harbour Esplanade, Docklands VIC 3008 The ferry has two decks – spacious and scenic! 🍽️ Lunch in Geelong: Many great food options near the pier. 🥪 Highly recommend EDGE Restaurant – $55 for a 4-dish set meal. Perfect for two! ⛲️ Attractions: All major sights are within walking distance along the coast: Giant Ferris wheel 🎡 Famous fountain pool (great for photos!) 📸 Lush green parks 🌿 (Note: If you hoped to see beached whales – they’ve been returned to the sea, and the site is quite far from here.) 🚂 Fun Activities: Ride the mini train Try the charming carousel 🎠 The pool area is super photogenic 🏊♀️ 💡 Pro tip: Grab a free Geelong map at the carousel – it highlights lots of cool local spots! 🚄 Evening: Take the train back to Melbourne – arrives at Southern Cross Station. Have a nice day! 😊🌅 #UniMelb #MelbourneUni #StudyAbroad #Melbourne #Geelong #GeelongDayTrip #MonashUni #Victoria #ExploreMelbourne
