Cheap Car Hire Geelong

Car hire Geelong - Wooded Areas and Beautiful Beaches

The city of Geelong is situated in southern Australia in the state of Victoria.  Geelong is the second largest city in Victoria and is only exceeded by Melbourne. The surrounding area is ideal for a trip due to the wooded areas- along the coast, some of the best surfing beaches of Australia can be found. 

Drive beautiful coastal roads with car hire in Geelong

The Great Ocean Road runs along here as well which is one of the most beautiful, if not the most beautiful coastal roads Down Under and is absolutely ideal to give your car hire a spin! The city offers many opportunities to enjoy a day of excitement.  For a start you could visit the National Wool Museum.  It is situated near to the harbour and concerns itself with everything to do with wool.  From the beginning of the first wave of immigrants this material played an important role and has a permanent place in the economic history of Australia.  The museum opened its doors in 1988 and is impressive in its own way.  A visit is definitely worthwhile.  The National Wool Museum is located in the Moorabool Street 26 and can be easily reached in your cheap car hire. Not too far away is the Art Gallery- a further highlight that you should definitely not miss out on.  The museum has a comprehensive display of contemporary art as well as back to colonial art with sculptures, drawings and decorations which are all fascinating for all those of you that are interested.  The Art Gallery is located in Little Malop Street- directly next to the town hall. 

Park up the hire car, relax and have an Aussie picnic in Geelong  

After lots of culture it might be nice to take a trip to the so-called Waterfront- a newly built beach promenade on the harbour of Geelong.  For visitors, there are lots of varied opportunities to escape from everyday life and to just take some time to relax.  The shops and restaurants invite you to either stroll around or to have something to eat and simply enjoy.  The beautifully designed parks are ideal for picnics.  There is also public art to admire and when it becomes dark- everything is illuminated wonderfully.      

In order to experience more nature, a trip to the city Botanic Gardens is recommended.  The beautifully arranged plants and trees are really an experience and is well worthwhile enjoying.  A short time ago, the Botanic Garden celebrated its 150^th anniversary and is therefore rich in tradition.  In addition the gardens have been extended and due to this have become even more attractive.  You can find the Botanic Gardens in the Eastern Park and is quickly and easily reached from the harbour in your car hire in Geelong which you will find about a kilometre away. A drive along the Great Ocean Road is definitely a “must do” for every visitor to Australia.  The winding coastal road is an eye opener and the views are just spectacular.  In order to do this you need to plan your time carefully.  It would be best to drive in your car hireon the B100 from Geelong in a southerly direction until you reach Torquay.  The city of Torquay and the Bells Beach which is situated nearby is famous in the whole of Australia for its perfect waves- a Mecca for surfers.   

Perfect car hire holiday end - sip on Aussie wine and enjoy the magnificent scenery

The Great Ocean Road runs further in a south westerly direction.  A reason for the many annual visitors is the 12 apostles- they are actually cliffs that stand in the sea and during twilight they give off an amazing glow. To close, a tip for those of you that enjoy good wines.  The wines in the surrounding area of Geelong are recommended and have a tradition that dates back to the middle of the 19^th century.  The different soils in the region, makes it possible for many different types of grapes to be cultivated, hence the number of different wines that can be found here.  The cultivation of wines was predominantly introduced by the German and Austrian inhabitants.  The first area of cultivation was next to the Barrbool Hills.
