Spirit of Tasmania Terminal

Highlight • Rest Area

The ship that will take you to the wonderous land of Tasmania.

Consider bringing your own snacks on board as the food is ridiculously overpriced, but be warned that you cannot bring fruit or nuts etc due to a quarantine.

If you cheap out on the cabins and get a recliner (like we did) then also consider bringing your sleeping bag or whatever, as it's often possible to find a quite corner somewhere with a bench, which is far better than the recliners.

Bring everything you need on-board as you will not be able to access your bike during the crossing.

Accessible via the Spirit Station Pier - head to the end of the pier.

The Stan Lewis Walk

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Stan Lewis Walk follows the Barwon River in Geelong, offering a mostly flat, shared path through open parkland and along the water’s edge. It was named in 1975 in memory of Stan Lewis, superintendent of maintenance for the Geelong Waterworks and Sewerage Trust. The track is popular for walking, running, and cycling, with regular river views and open green space.

Women's Place of Peace

Highlight • Monument

Women’s Place of Peace is a small riverside garden along the Barwon River in Geelong, created by the Reclaim the Night Collective as a quiet space for reflection. It honours survivors of sexual assault and family violence, as well as women who have worked to protect the rights and safety of women and children. The area features a series of mosaic pavers set into the ground, each with symbolic designs representing themes of strength, creation, and connection.

Barwon River lookout

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Barwon River runs for about 160 kilometres from the Otway Ranges to the coast at Barwon Heads, passing through Geelong as a wide, slow-moving waterway. Along this section, it flows gently between tree-lined banks and open parkland, with calm water and soft bends. This lookout is a great spot to pause and take in the view.
