The Barwon River flows for 160 kilometres through Victoria and is lined by trails on both sides as it flows through Geelong. The name is an anglicized version of the Aboriginal word Parwan, which means either magpie or great wide. The river is popular for walking, jogging, cycling, kayaking, and rowing. There are also many parks and reserves along its banks, so there is no shortage of ways to enjoy your time at the river.
