Geelong is a port city located on Corio Bay and
the Barwon River, in the state of Victoria, Australia,
75 kilometres (47 mi) south-west of the state
capital, Melbourne. Geelong is the
second largest Victorian city, with an estimated
urban population of 184,182 as at June 2014, having
grown 1.4 percent since June 2013.

Today, Geelong stands as an emerging health,
education and advanced manufacturing hub. The
city's economy is shifting quickly and despite
experiencing the drawbacks of losing much of its
heavy manufacturing, it is seeing much growth in
other sectors, positioning itself as one of the
leading non-capital Australian cities.
