The Geelong Painted Puppets are one of the most representative public art installations in the coastal area of ​​Geelong, Victoria, Australia. They are distributed on the docks, seaside and beaches along the six-kilometer coastline. Each puppet has a special story and a distinct theme, with a total of 46 themes. Some represent the early people who lived here, as well as various characters such as well-known opera stars, nurses, sailors and captains, vividly witnessing the historical changes of Geelong. The Geelong Painted Puppets are not only artistic creations, but also carriers of urban memory. Visitors can stroll along the coastal trail, look for hidden puppets, and take photos with them. Under the light at night, the puppets add a fairy-tale atmosphere, and during the day, they can be combined with Geelong's Ferris wheel, green space, yacht wharf and other landscapes to visit together.Geelong · 922m from downtown

The tour to Great Ocean Road was taken by the guide named Vance who is frequent with both English and Chinese. Since I only speak English and Japanese, it was helpful that guide can speak English too.The tour was operated quite strictly about time, so the tour went so smoothly than I expected.In the tour, you don’t need to worry about the problem of language because the guide always left the paper which show what time you should come back to bus.The guide Vance is kind and funny, and I really enjoyed his guide and recommendation.And I really enjoyed the beautiful view and it was stunning!!!!

It takes about 70 minutes to get to Geelong by train from Southern Cross Station. You can use the Miky card. You can eat and drink on weekdays for up to 10 Australian dollars. The scenery is beautiful. When I visited, I met someone holding a swimming competition. The weather was bad that day. It was really cold and rainy. Everyone was in high spirits.

Geelong East Beach is a very quiet bay. There are not many tourists here and it is very quiet. But the scenery here is very beautiful. There is a large green lawn beside the beach. There are many various statues on the lawn, which is very suitable for the scene. There are not many tourists here, which is very suitable for taking pictures.
