Avalon (post code: 3212) is an outer northeastern suburb of Geelong, Victoria. Its Local Government Area is the City of Greater Geelong and it is located on the western shore of Port Phillip Bay to the southwest of the state's capital city of Melbourne. Avalon is notable for the Avalon Raceway (also known as Avalon Speedway) and Avalon Airport, which is the new home base of the budget domestic airline Jetstar Airways and the site of the biennial Avalon International Airshow, the largest of its kind in the southern hemisphere. Although located on the outskirts of Geelong, the airport effectively operates as a second airport for the much larger city of Melbourne. In 2005 businessman Lindsay Fox launched plans to attract Australia's first Disneyland theme park to the area.[1]A Direct Factory Outlets shopping centre has also been proposed for the area.
