The Surf Coast Salute has come to a close for another year… Firstly, Happy Australia Day. We’re a little one-eyed and believe our Surf Coast is the best place to live, in Australia. That aside, we really do live in the lucky country, and we should all be grateful for that. The first Surf Coast […]

Yes, Geelong suddenly got really Hip! I took a friend from Melbourne to the new Little Creatures Brewery in Geelong and their response was “Wow, you’d expect something really cool like this in Melbourne, not Geelong!” And she’s right, it’s quite awesome.
