Geelong Local Custom Tips by cassiejoy42

Most towns and cities in Australia have the famous "pub" or hotel on every corner.

At one stage there were about 95 pubs in Geelong.

Nowadays there are lots of pubs, bars, night clubs, wine bars and restaurants and cafes available - in Geelong - where you can have a meal, a drink, a dance, a glass of wine, coffee and a cake, or coffee with a meal.

Here is one of our landmark hotels - The National.

If you are down at the Waterfront and you want to go and sit in a traditional pub where there is a bar, with a barman serving, then walk up Moorabool St from the Waterfront and you will find the National Hotel on your left, halfway up the hill.

Come in and meet some of the locals and find out about the local activities and functions that are happening around Geelong from the real, fair dinkum, locals.

If you like checking out the older cars made in the 1920s - 1970s you can go to the All Ford Day - it is held once a year. Usually it is held at the Geelong Showgrounds.
Some of the car clubs and rock n roll clubs also hold "Show N Shine" days where people from all over Australia congregate. People who own the cars get to show them off and people who go for a look get to drool all over the cars.
I am an absolute car nut and love all the older style cars. I own a dilapidated EH Holden which needs a lot of work done on it - it is my restoration project.
The photos that I have included were all taken at an All Ford Day so I assume they are all Fords - if any car nuts out there want to send me an email and let me know what sort of car they are I will happily change the picture captions.
