Barwon River

Highlight • River

The Barwon River flows for 160 kilometres through Victoria and is lined by trails on both sides as it flows through Geelong. The name is an anglicized version of the Aboriginal word Parwan, which means either magpie or great wide. The river is popular for walking, jogging, cycling, kayaking, and rowing. There are also many parks and reserves along its banks, so there is no shortage of ways to enjoy your time at the river.

Eastern Beach Swimming Enclosure

Highlight • Beach

The Eastern Beach Swimming Enclosure is a historic, shark-proof sea bath in Corio Bay, with a unique curved boardwalk and Art Deco design dating back to the 1930s. The large saltwater enclosure includes a large tower, diving boards, floating platforms, and a separate shallow children’s pool, making it one of Geelong’s most popular and family-friendly swimming areas. Surrounded by beautifully landscaped open space it's ideal for a picnic. You'll also find toilets, dressing rooms and an on-site café, which is why it remains a central attraction on the waterfront.
