Lots of people on this site like Geelong, we visited it and it wasn't for us but has a nice harbour front with a 'prom' a small beach and a couple of pools which have lifeguards. Lara is pretty quiet, it has a small shopping centre and no doubt about it property prices are good there, most houses seem to have land with them.

We really liked Torquay which is further down than Geelong, it is lovely. It has a nice beach. Although, it looked to us to again be pretty quiet.

Geelong is about an hour by train to Melbourne and I'd say a pretty good starting point , it has lots of places close to it that are lovely but Geelong also has the shops etc. There is lots of building going on in Geelong so although some of the houses are dated there are new estates on the outskirts.

Best wishes
Michelle
