The team is a much-celebrated group of 63 volunteers who have dedicated a significant portion of their time to help drive the local visitor economy and visitor experience as a part of the regional tourism organisation Tourism Greater Geelong & The Bellarine.  Five volunteers have reached the 30-year milestone, having shaped the service from its very foundation to what it is today.
