"Enjoy alfresco seafood dining at Le Parisien for dinner as you soak in the gorgeous views of the Geelong waterfront. Don’t forget to snap some photos with the colourful bollards that line the area too!. Next, join the Geelong Gaols’ ghost tour and gallows visit at 8pm, where you’ll be immersed in the stories of former convicts, murderers and lunatics who were once incarcerated inside this maximum security prison.
