Little kids and big kids alike across Greater Geelong are getting ready to enjoy a long weekend full of family, fun and, of course, chocolate.

Aside from the joy of easter egg hunts at home on Easter Sunday morning, community events are happening around the region all weekend.

The National Wool Museum’s Easter Scavenger Hunt, taking place daily between 10am and 5pm, challenges kids and their parents to search through museum galleries to find clues, crack the code and unlock their bag of Easter treats.

Trains are also on the agenda, with both the Portarlington Miniature Railway and the Bellarine Railway offering rides, chocolate and perhaps a meeting with the Easter Bunny.

For families taking the opportunity to get away for the weekend, Victoria State Emergency Services’ Driver Reviver program is offering fatigued drivers across the state free tea, coffee and biscuits to help break up long journeys and stay safe on the roads.
