Getting There

Geelong is situated an hour’s drive from the city of Melbourne along the Princes Freeway.  Most major highways lead to Geelong with the Princes Freeway passing through Geelong as well as the Hamilton Hwy from west and the Midland Hwy from the North West.

The opening of the Western Ring Road in mid 1997 connects the Tullamarine Freeway with the Princes Highway, greatly improving access from Melbourne to Geelong.

The Geelong Ring Road has also been opened at the beginning of 2009 and has improved movement and ease of access for all participants.

Geelong is also easily accessible from the south-eastern suburbs of Melbourne with transportation to Queenscliff (a 30 minute drive to Geelong) on the car/passenger ferry service which operates hourly between Sorrento and Queenscliff, 365 days a year.

Geelong is the gateway to some of Australia’s greatest tourist destinations, from the tranquility and charm of historic Queenscliff to the rolling surf of Bells Beach and the unsurpassed beauty of the world’s most spectacular drive - the Great Ocean Road.
