The Best Attractions In Corio

Attractions of the Bellarine Peninsula - Melbourne - Australia

The Bellarine Peninsula is close to Melbourne within an easy 1 1/2 hour drive. Great for holidays and weekend escapes, it has things to offer for all kinds of tourists and holiday makers.

There is Historic Queenscliff, with the Fort, Maritime Museum, the Vue Grand and other attractions.

Point Lonsdale has great cafes, a Lighthouse that is still operational and you can tour with prior bookings, the pier which provides great fishing and sightseeing, and is also a great spot to do some dolphin watching, as you can see in the video :)

Barwon Heads, Ocean Grove and Point Lonsdale also have some excellent surf beaches that will entertain locals and visitors alike.

Take your bikes for a casual family ride from Point Lonsdale to Queenscliff along a well-kept track.

During school holidays, visit the Marine and Freshwater Discovery Centre for some up-close encounter with local marine life.

And don't forget to take a trip on the SeaRoad Ferries across Port Philip Bay to Sorrento while you are on the Bellarine. It's worth it on a calm and sunny day.

Port Melbourne Beach walking to Station Pier Melbourne Australia

( Melbourne ) offers a Great choice of Beaches and Piers Stretching along the Port Phillip Bay. In this Video im visiting Port Melbourne (Lagoon pier) which is a fantastic place to see the surrounding area and (Station Pier Melbourne) Home of Spirit of (Tasmania Ferry) and docking Pier for Major Cruise Liners Visiting Melbourne Port.
Port Melbourne is an inner suburb of Melbourne, Australia, 5 km south-west from Melbourne's central business district. It is split between the local government areas of Melbourne and Port Phillip. The area to the north of the West Gate Freeway is in the City of Melbourne. The area to the south is in the City of Port Phillip. At the 2016 Census, Port Melbourne had a population of 16,175.[1]

The suburb is bordered by the shores of Hobsons Bay and the lower reaches of the Yarra River. Port Melbourne covers a large area, which includes the distinct localities of Fishermans Bend, Garden City and Beacon Cove.

Historically it was known as Sandridge and developed as the City's second port, linked to the nearby Melbourne CBD.

The formerly industrial Port Melbourne has been subject to intense urban renewal over the past two decades. As a result, Port Melbourne is a diverse and historic area, featuring industrial and port areas along the Yarra, to open parklands, bayside beaches, exclusive apartments and Bay Street's restaurants and cafes. The suburb also forms a major transport link from east to west, home to one end of the West Gate Bridge.


Port Phillip (also commonly referred to as Port Phillip Bay), is a port in southern Victoria, Australia. It is nearly surrounded by the city of Melbourne and its suburbs. Geographically, the port covers 1,930 square kilometres (480,000 acres) and the shore stretches roughly 264 km (164 mi). Although it is extremely shallow for its size, most of the port is navigable. The deepest portion is only 24 metres (79 ft), and half the region is shallower than 8 m (26 ft). The volume of the water in the port is around 25 cubic kilometres (6.0 cu mi).

Before European settlement the area around Port Phillip was divided between the territories of the Wathaurong (to the west), Wurundjeri (north) and Boonwurrung (south and east) Nations. Its waters and coast are home to seals, whales, dolphins, corals, and many kinds of seabirds and migratory waders.

The first Europeans to enter the port were the crews of HMS Lady Nelson, commanded by John Murray and, ten weeks later, HMS Investigator commanded by Matthew Flinders, in 1802. Subsequent expeditions into the bay took place in 1803 to establish the first settlement in Victoria, near Sorrento, but was abandoned in 1804. Thirty years later, settlers from Tasmania returned to establish Melbourne, now the state's capital city, at the mouth of the Yarra River in 1835 and Geelong at Corio Bay in 1838. Today Port Phillip is the most densely populated catchment in Australia[1] with an estimated 4.5 million people living around the bay; Melbourne's suburbs extend around much of the northern and eastern shorelines, and the city of Geelong sprawls around Corio Bay, in the port's western arm.
