Walking distance from the South Geelong train station, the Little Creatures Brewery is a fun place to spend the day. It's like the Willy Wonka factory for beer lovers! White Rabbit is also on the premises. #SMDdoesOZ #Geelong #Australia

South Geelong

If you're spending some time in South Geelong, Kardinia Park and Little Creatures Brewery are top sights worth seeing.

South Geelong
This is a lovely place to go exploring at any time of the year. There is a walking track along the river that leads to a number of platforms, which has beautiful views over the falls. After a decent winters rain, it's great for photographers. In summer you can find a lot of skinks here. Great biodiversity. #lovemytown

Highton

Highton might not have many top sights, but Kardinia Park and Geelong Performing Arts Center are two attractions nearby that you can check out.

Highton
Belmont Common is one of my favourite birdwatching areas in Geelong. There is a bird hide at Jerringot Wildlife Research. You get a lot of waterbirds in the area and also the occasional bird of prey. It's well known for crakes, rails and lathams snipe. #localgem

Belmont

Get to know Belmont by checking out its shopping, spas, and river views. Consider a visit to nearby sights like Kardinia Park or Geelong Showground during your time in the area.

Belmont
Geelong - Bellarine Peninsula featuring general coastal views and a bridge as well as an individual male

Leopold

When in Leopold, you can plan a visit to Adventure Park Geelong and Jirrahlinga Koala and Wildlife Sanctuary, some noteworthy sights in the nearby area.

Leopold

Avalon

While Avalon isn't home to many top sights, Serendip Sanctuary and Port Phillip Bay Coastal Reserve are some notable places to visit nearby.

Avalon
Serendip Sanctuary is a great place to see Emus and Kangaroos in a 'wild' setting. They let many native animals roam free and you can just walk past them. They have a number of bird hides and enclosures where you can also see native animals. It's free to visit and is close to Lara train station.

Lara

You'll enjoy the museums and parks in Lara. You might want to make time for a stop at You Yangs Regional Park or Serendip Sanctuary.
