Stroll past the sculptured bollards dotted along the Geelong foreshore that chronicle characters from the city’s past and present, including dapper young ladies in neck-to-knee bathing costumes, 1930s lifesavers, traditional Aussie families, a Geelong footballer, jaunty sailors, fishermen and a town band.

Waterfront Geelong, The only North facing bay south of Sydney. The foreshore is a wonderful trip away for the whole family. Home of restored 1930’s swimming enclosure and 1850’s Carousel, restaurants, cafes, sculptures, water activities, picnic and play areas, Botanic Gardens, museums, galleries, majestic scenery and much much more. Well worth the trip.
We love the Bollards in Geelong - it is such an enjoyable walk on a nice sunny day along the waterfront. Looking forward to seeing the next Bollard is great incentive to walk further as there are so many and they are so varied.
Interstate visitors love them too, in fact they love Geelong and the waterfront in particular. Geelong is really being recognised as a great holiday location, plenty to see in Geelong itself, and a good central location for trips to the Bellarine Peninsula, the coast, the wineries and the Brisbane Ranges.
The bollards on the Geelong remain a fond memory of my childhood and Geelong itself, they support all the images of Australia and are accessible to many people as they don’t cost anything to visit. Best of all they provide a wonderful photo opportunity and are guareenteed not to move when searching for that perfect shot.
The Bollards tell a fantastic story of the history of Geelong and are wonderfully crafted and maintained along the attractive Geelong Waterfront. It is enjoyable to walk along the only North facing Bay south of Sydney and enjoy the pieces of artwork.
Geelong waterfront
I live in Geelong and love the waterfront area on a lovely sunny day. Plenty of cafes resaurants and actvities on the bay make it a top place to be. Australia Day weekend is massive normally get a crowd of over 50,000. Second best place is Pako Festa in Geelong held in February every year.
Iconic to Geelong this is a must do. They enhance the Geelong Waterfront and provide a unique cultural experience to the history of Geelong. Always something new to see and learn
They are bright, colorful and fun. A fantastic way to learn about the history of an area. The kids enjoy finding the rabbits on each of the bollards.
The Bollards on the Geelong waterfront are fantastic, they represent the history of Geelong as well as being a great tourist attraction for all age groups.
