What to Do While You’re Here: Exploring Geelong & the Bellarine

Whether you’re visiting from Tokyo, Townsville, or Toorak, there’s always something new to discover in Geelong and the Bellarine. All of us at The Q Train encourage our guests to stay and play in our beautiful region; but we also know it can be hard to know where to begin. Luckily, there are plenty of trusted resources to help you plan the perfect stay.

A great first stop is the official tourism website for our region:

Visit Geelong and the Bellarine

Here you’ll find must-visit attractions, parks, experiences, and events. From dolphin swims to waterfront bollard trails, from farmers’ markets to hikes through the historic You Yangs, this site covers the very best of what our part of the world has to offer.

If you’re travelling as part of a bigger Australian adventure, you might enjoy exploring the Great Southern Touring Route. For more than 30 years, this iconic self‑drive experience has helped visitors discover the highlights of Regional Victoria — from the Great Ocean Road’s legendary landscapes, to the soaring mountains of the Grampians, to the wine regions and gold‑rush history of Ballarat and beyond. Obviously, it also includes Australia’s Premier Rail Restaurant, The Q Train.

Another wonderful planning tool is Go Beyond Melbourne, a website designed to inspire multi‑day journeys through four iconic regions – all within 90 minutes of the city:

Yarra Valley, Phillip Island, the Mornington Peninsula, and the Geelong–Bellarine Peninsula.

Their custom trip‑planner helps you build an itinerary shaped entirely by your interests, whether you’re chasing wineries, wildlife, beaches, galleries, or gourmet stops.
