Old paper mills chimney in Fyansford.

The Old Paper Mills at Fyansford are a hidden treasure. Here, you'll be able to enjoy a rich history that dates back to the early beginnings of Geelong's industrial era.

Now emerging as an arts and cultural precinct, these magnificent heritage buildings are becoming the setting for art and music enthusiasts, food and wine lovers and families looking for a unique destination to relax and unwind.

An art gallery and studios, mosaic workshop and cafe have kicked off the first wave of revival. Plans for an on-site winery and wedding and function centre will begin the shift into bigger things for the site.

The Old Paper Mills is situated on the Barwon River. A series of walking and cycling tracks allow visitors easy access to stunning views of Buckley Falls and the surrounding river areas.

This must-visit destination with its delightful village-like atmosphere is located on the outskirts of Geelong. The Old Paper Mills have plenty of parking and are just minutes from the city centre and the waterfront.
