Mind you, even though the town is small, and surrounded by paddocks, having a free park for all to enjoy is still quite nice. It even has some play equipment, and a number of nice native plants here as well.

This I think is actually a pretty good thing, particularly since parks tend to be quite a nice and relaxing, and public, space to spend some time. There is also a decent river that runs through here as well, and the other thing, it also happens to be located near a rather delightful river as well, which certainly does give this place an awful lot of charm. Yeah, I liked it.

This place appears to be Geelong's main beach, or at least the main city beach. However, while you…read morecan swim in the sea, they also have a pretty cool pool at one end, and honestly, I'm actually more of a swimming in the pool type of person than swimming in the ocean (unless I am out far enough where I am not touching the bottom). The reserve itself is pretty cool, especially all of the bollards that are around the place, which has been painted to appear to be people. In fact these bollards seem to be an aspect of Geelong that make the city unique.

Walking upon the boardwalk heading into 'the beach section' you will notice metal plaques on each piece of slats with a name on it, the individuals kindly paid and donated that particular slats for the boardwalk. In the beach section, apart from swimming, you can have lots of fun where there are floating islands where you could play by sliding off a rotating barrel and into the water or simply climb up a large diving tower for that big splash you were hanging out for plus more. You can see many lifeguards patrolling the area that puts your mind at ease as well. If you want something to eat or have a cool drink or treat, there are kiosks there to cater for your needs. They also have a picnic area with facilities or playgrounds if you don't want to get wet - lots to do there. But what this beach is famously known for is their Baywalk Bollards, scattered all over the place. Each set of bollards represent a story of the city's past, the bollards are from old timbers and piles from a city pier and transformed into beautiful work of art by an Australian artist Jan Mitchell. If you want to know the story that goes with the bollards, there is a book available for purchase from the Carousel at the Waterfront. And yes... I couldn't help myself, I had to take a photo of myself with these characters. You could easily spend a whole day there with plenty to do and see.

Firstly, the food at GMHBA is awesome but a little too expensive. My favourite part about GMHBA is that there is no roof and the building is colossal. Secondly, the tickets are very affordable and the view is perfect! Lastly, the service is amazing and the staff are so nice. Plus, there's a huge variety of delicious food for all. Did you know GMHBA means Geelong Medical Hospital Benefits Association? Overall, everyone should go to GMHBA it's an amazing facility, great service and food is amazing! Written by CD - aged 9
