Geelong

Balyang Sanctuary in Geelong is a great place for families to visit. The area was converted to a haven for various waterbirds including ducks, pelicans and cormorants. It is very close to the Barwon River Trail and has many tables for picnics. 

Birdwatchers can find many interesting animals here if they explore it in depth. #localgem

Everything was satisfactory apart from a 2am incident with someone screaming and banging doors. Not sure if police were called but it lasted for a while. Otherwise ok.
