Geelong is a port city located on Corio Bay and the Barwon River, in the state of Victoria, Australia. It is the second largest Victorian city, with an estimated urban population of 187,417 as at June 2015, having grown 1.8 percent since June 2014. The city runs from the plains of Lara in the north to the rolling hills of Waurn Ponds to the south, with Corio Bay to the east and hills to the west. Geelong City is also known as the 'Gateway City' due to its central location to surrounding Victorian regional centres.
During the city's early years, an inhabitant of Geelong was often known as a Geelongite, or a Pivotonian, derived from the city's nickname of "The Pivot", referencing the city's role as a shipping and rail hub for the area.
The city is known for being home to the Geelong Football Club, the second oldest club in the Australian Football League. Today, Geelong stands as an emerging health, education and advanced manufacturing hub.
This is my first ever review on Yelp! I want to start off by saying that I have been purchasing airline tickets through Trip Designs for almost ten years now. Since I have family overseas, I travel frequently, and so do other members of my family. Not only we always get the best deals (far cheaper than anything online), but, even more importantly, enjoy very professional and fast service.
On a couple of occasions, I've had to purchase tickets on an extremely short notice (same day travel to Europe), and Sladjana was able to find me excellent deals. A few other times, I had to re-do the tickets, change dates and extend travel - and did so without any issues. The representatives patiently worked with me via numerous emails and phone calls, to better accommodate my requests.
I started recommending Trip Designs to other family and friends about five-six years ago - and have heard nothing but praise.
Highly recommended!
