Wall-to-wall scenery in Geelong’s 3D city centre

Kids and the young at heart can have lots of fun this summer with a series of 3D wall art around central Geelong.
The image really put passersby in the picture as they posed for holiday snaps with seemingly a part of the colourful scenery behind them.
City Hall recently added a fourth instalment with a lifespan to continue beyond Christmas.
Artist Scott Jensen has put the finishing touches on the giant Summer Christmas themed artwork on the Brougham Street wall of Novotel Geelong.
The artwork, featuring a giant wave with a surf board, lets the public catch a wave and is sure to be another popular addition to the Central Geelong Christmas Trail in 2017.
People are encouraged to jump in the image, take a picture and tag @lovecentralgeelong and #geelongchristmas on social media and enjoy unique Christmas photos.
The first three artworks, Christmas Snow Globe at The Carousel, Santa’s Treasure in Malop Street, and the Storybook at Geelong’s library have been “well received” in social media and local papers, according to City Hall.
The 3D Christmas Artwork is part of the Central Geelong Christmas Trail with more than 28 activities on offer throughout the festive season.
With the floating Christmas tree as the star attraction, the activities provide families with unique, fun and free activities.
The Christmas trail is an initiative of Central Geelong Marketing and City of Greater Geelong. The 3D Christmas Artwork is presented with the support of Tourism Greater Geelong and the Bellarine, Geelong Library and Heritage Centre and Revitalising Central Geelong.
More information is available at centralgeelong.com.au or by phoning 5272 4297.
