With the opening of the new Ring Road, we are now just 4 sets of traffic lights from Melbourne - 45 minutes!
The simplest & quickest route: take the M1 to Geelong, don't turn off to 'Geelong City' but continue on the new by-pass until the B140, signposted 'Hamilton/Newtown'. Turn left (Newtown) and stay on this road without turning - onto Aberdeen Street, then four sets of lights later you will pass over the old Highway in the center of Geelong, onto Ryrie Street, and we are immediately on the right. Use our Free car park.

An Exciting discovery: 16th century Flemish Old Master.
A recently purchased Old Master work , this oil on panel dates to the early 16th century. From the studio of Joos van Cleve (1480-1541), it is a remarkable piece for its sincere, humanizing portrayal of Mary, Joseph, and the Christ child, having a visit with the 'in-laws' - Anne & Joachim, Mary's parents.
This work is apparently unrecorded in recent literature. Read more about it here, or look up the stock entry here.
