Embark on the Historic and Cultural Odyssey of Geelong

Neon lights shimmer on Corio Bay while secrets from Geelong’s wild past linger beneath the boardwalks. Beneath every painted horse at Hi-Lite Park and within the walls of The Geelong Club, untold stories wait for those willing to seek them out.

Uncover the city’s hidden heartbeat with this immersive self-guided audio tour. Wander at your own pace through bustling streets, historic landmarks, and tucked-away corners most travellers never find.

Why did a single decision at Geelong Power Station ignite controversy for decades? What secret societies once whispered in the private rooms of The Geelong Club? Who vanished without a trace during a stormy carnival night right here at Hi-Lite Park?

Trace footsteps through rebellion, scandal, triumph and mystery as old rivalries echo over cobblestones and forgotten laughter rides the carousel wind. This journey transforms Geelong from backdrop to adventure.

Hear the call of the waterfront. Begin now and discover what the neon hides.
