Clifton Springs

Clifton Springs, once a coastal spa resort, is 52 km south-west of central Melbourne, facing northwards towards Corio Bay. It is on the Bellarine Peninsula and is 17 km east of Geelong.

Clifton Springs was named after a speculative township between Point Henry and Moolap, laid out in 1849, about midway between Geelong and Clifton Springs. Clifton Avenue is the sole remnant of the township.
