Tim, I live approx 15 min from bells. You are best to find accomdation in Torquay or Anglesea both of which are bout 10mins away (no camping avaliable at beach). You MUST book ahead if you intend to visit during scholl holidays - there are a number of of caravan parks, hotels etc avaliable. There are a number of sight-seeing activities to do in the area. Start in geelong and go down the Great Ocean Rd as far as Port Campbel. Try to locate the touring info centre in geelong for more info.
