		The line reached here early in 1902, and the first official train steamed into town on 27 February 1902, with as was usual, a Large banquet held to commemorate the occasion.
		It was not long before the value of the railway to this area was recognised, and further local agitation sought an extension to Lavers Hill and Crowes, which was a district approximately 6 miles from the coast.
		Main goods along the line was in the early days, as would be expected, timber cut from the extensive forests and logged to the sidings dotted along the line, even though initial expectation was that farm produce would dominate.

	Geelong - Victoria - Australia - Travel - smh.com.au
		In 1993 urban sprawl forced the de facto recognition that Geelong, Geelong West, Newtown, South Barwon, Bellarine and the shire of Corio were effectively a continuous whole and they were amalgamated to form the City of Greater Geelong which, in 1996, had a population of 175,409.
		Geelong has always been a major port and has always had a symbiotic relationship with the fertile agricultural and pastoral districts to the west and north-west of the city - a relationship which is manifest in the form of huge bay-side grain silos.
		Geelong, for the moment, was outstripped by Ballarat and Bendigo and was derisively referred to by Melburnians as 'Sleepy Hollow'.

		Victoria's economic growth is now amongst the weakest in the nation and there have been big falls in Victoria's exports and government investment, the latest Australian Bureau of Statistics data show.
		While Victoria has taken no action until recently, New South Wales amended its legislation in April 2001 to insert into their Act an express requirement that a FHOS applicant be at least 16 years old unless the NSW taxation commissioner is satisfied the application is not part of an avoidance scheme.
		Victoria's 2001-02 Mid-Year Financial Report shows the Bracks Government has continued its high taxing and uncontrolled spending in the six months to December 2001, and confirms that if it were not for almost $1 billion in unbudgeted revenue, the 2001-02 budget would now be almost $200 million in deficit.

	Geelong, Victoria - Travelmate
		There are many faces to Geelong: a vital industrial and commercial town, an educational centre, an aquatic playground on Corio Bay, whose waters offer fishing challenges to all anglers, a launching pad for forays along the Great Ocean Road and into the vineyards around Mt Anakie.
		Horse racing, too, is an integral part of the city’s calendar, especially in the spring when the city plays a strong support hand to the spectacular Melbourne carnival with the Geelong Cup meeting.
		The city has played a pivotal role in the wool industry which anchored Australia's 19th and 20th century growth and it is fitting that Geelong should host the National Wool Museum.

		Mr Gibson said patronage had dropped off dramatically in February when the Geelong line was closed due to work on the very fast rail project.
		The head office in Geelong, and workshop and service depot in Warrnambool will be closed, but the maintenance depot in Ballarat will be retained.

	Barwon Camping and Caravan Park - Geelong Victoria
		Finding a park with vacancies during Xmas holidays along the Great Ocean Road can be to say the least a bit of a nightmare.
		The Barwon Camping and Caravan Park is quite a pretty park bearing in mind it is on the fringe of the city and of course it is right across the road from the lovely Barwon River.
		Free camping in the area is very light on and there is only one overnight rest area between Melbourne and Geelong and it is very grotty and frightfully noisy.

		Geelong should really have shuttle trains, every 20 mins in peak, running Lara to South Geelong (and Grovedale eventually), and every hour off peak.
		The solution to that problem is easy, but at the present moment the siding is booked out and the points at either end are clipped, both crossovers on the up and down end are booked out and clipped.

		These frequencies are used by train drivers across Victoria to communicate with the V/Line Control Centre (heard on air as “Centrol,” which is located at Spencer St Railway Station, and at every country Victorian station (look for the huge antenna’s)
		Many frequencies are low-powered and will only be heard if you are near enough to the transmitter/repeater site.
