16.01.2022 It’s #NAIDOCWeek and this year’s theme recognises that First Nations People have occupied and cared for this continent for over 65,000 years.

The natural environment is one of the main reasons people choose to visit Geelong & The Bellarine and the culture and history continues to be important to the region and the tourism industry. ... Always Was, Always Will Be.

15.01.2022 It's National Volunteer Week and that seems like the perfect time to stop and acknowledge our legendary team of Visitor Services volunteers and thank them for the role they play in helping visitors enjoy their time in Geelong and The Bellarine.

11.01.2022 New restrictions have been enforced today for Victorians who live in Greater Melbourne, due to another positive case that requires investigation. The most important thing for you to know at the moment is that Greater Melbourne residents are still able to travel regionally, however the restrictions that apply to them in Melbourne, also apply to them in regional Victoria. This includes wearing masks inside venues while walking around, only visiting a household with less that ...five people and only attending public gatherings of 30 people or less. Venue capacities will remain the same as they follow a COVID-Safe plan and have the Victorian QR code check-in. As things are developing quickly and more questions are being raised, we will hold off on our email communications with members until this afternoon. In the meantime, we have found this feed really useful as ABC News transcribe questions and examples as they come to hand live.
