Geelong / Bellarine Peninsula, Victoria
Categories in this region
Geelong and the Bellarine Peninsula wrap around Corio Bay at the gateway to the Great Ocean Road. The revitalised Geelong waterfront pairs industrial-heritage venues with bay views, while the Bellarine's vineyards, olive groves and seaside villages at Queenscliff and Barwon Heads offer coastal country charm.
Couples choose the region for winery ceremonies overlooking the bay, heritage carousel photos on the waterfront and beach receptions where the river meets the sea. An hour from Melbourne with ferry links across the bay, it's both convenient and genuinely scenic.
