Geelong

This is a lovely place to go exploring at any time of the year. There is a walking track along the river that leads to a number of platforms, which has beautiful views over the falls. After a decent winters rain, it's great for photographers. In summer you can find a lot of skinks here. Great biodiversity. #lovemytown
