Before arriving in Geelong we stopped off at Scotchmans Hill vineyard for a wine tasting. Absolutely gorgeous setting and some great wines according to Simon. I was the nominated driver, surprise, surprise!

Geelong is a great town I really liked it.  There is a lovely waterfront with swimming areas, big wide streets, a botanical garden and a very funky library and art gallery and an amusing bollard walk which goes from one side of the bay to the other and each bollard is painted with some person  or a group of people to do with Geelong’s history. A fun way to explore.

We sailed on the Spirit of Tasmania from here. I was a bit nervous about having a rough crossing but it was lovely and calm so I slept straight through to the wake up call. It was a very nice ship.
