24.01.2022 Breaking with the age old tradition of only listening to Michael Bubl over Christmas, the gorillas at Werribee Open Range Zoo got a special live show recently. They went a little bananas.

22.01.2022 Whether youre living local or coming from afar, heres a handy list of legends that will be open for some socially-distanced dining. Wineries, restaurants, cafes and pubs a plenty.

18.01.2022 Thank you for not coming. Many of you would usually spend today getting ready for Easter on the coast: eating seafood & chocolate, hanging out at the beach and spending time with loved ones. We hope you have some sweet indulgences at home, and well see you here another time. ... Ash Hughes Photography

18.01.2022 How majestic does the Carousel look? An iconic waterfront spot, perfectly captured by @lyndenjsmith.

13.01.2022 Portarlington should be tapping its toes this long weekend to the sounds, sights and tastes of the National Celtic Festival. Whilst COVID has cancelled the event, the team will be celebrating online - check out the fun over at National Celtic Festival Australia Official all weekend. And well see you in real life - for a jig and a Guiness - in Portarlington in 2021. Slinte!

05.01.2022 It’s the most wonderful time of the year. The Geelong Waterfront Christmas tree has arrived and will be lit sometime soon, without the usual first night fanfare, to make sure everyone enjoys the festive season in a socially distanced and responsible way. She’ll be pretty and on show for plenty of time so all our friends from near and far can get into the Christmas spirit.

01.01.2022 At your isolation station, and wondering where all the wine has gone? Our region is rich with award-winning wineries, bars and cellar doors, and everyone is doing deals or delivery, so find your fav and get your orders in. (Apologies for the pour wine puns).
