Reasons Geelong is a great place to live.

[KZNSeagull]

Lots but they are a fair way away.

But you could Drive there

Oh and some bloody good vineyards around Geelong too. I need to emigrate! As for footy, for some reason I took a shine to St Kilda - jeez that was dumb.

Victory rule OK!

There's a nice quirky market in St Kilda on Sunday mornings. The Yarra Valley and Mornington Peninsular have some gorgeous vineyards too. Oh, and you might bump into one of these on a walk in the park...........

Wrong code mate, thats soccer your thinking of.

 

[severnside gull]

I like Geelong because it's not far from Lawn.
I like Lawn a lot

I started this thread as a bit of a joke but i think it has summed up Geelong perfectly

"Geelong is a great place to live because it is close to lots of great places"

 

[ShanklySeagull]

I'm wondering if we know each other Badfish as I have a mate who emigrated to Oz and ended up in Geelong?

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Ahhh the good old days, not any more sadly it has been gentrified. It is all poncey coffee, boutique beers, yummy mummies and wannabe hipters.

Well parts of it anyway.

Has Geelong ever considered "twinning" with Hove ?

In 2003 we saw one of the most incredible sunsets in Geelong I've seen in all my life. Stuck with me all these years later. The clouds were so pink and fluffy that I'm damned sure they inspired Orbital!

Geelong for sunsets - gets my vote!

ha yes especially the being close to great places part.

No wonder i feel at home.

 

[Eeyore]

It doesn't and it is....... Where are you thinking of?

Somewhere with a similar name just south of Adelaide. I passed through there once. Signs to Brighton and Seaford.

You're thinking of Glenelg

 

[Eeyore]

The bog dwelling ones are more around Sydney. Ours generally have the decency to stay outside.

Are the funnels still boycotting Victoria ?

One of those GM rats threatened to give me a thump in the Geelongs when I introduced myself in a Northern Territory backwater. I hope they're a lot friendlier in your area. They don't make for a very tasty pie either.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

I am THE single biggest authority on Geelong here.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Does it have a golf course?

3 within the city limits. Another 10 or so in the surrounding areas.

You could be right. I'll take a look.

Edit: You're right. With Seaford a few stops on and Goodwood not far either.

 

[Mr Putdown]

It has a nice beach and it's not far from Brighton...

Which, in turn, is about 20 miles from Croydon!
