Our History

What was to become the Intown network started around 1995. Our original site later went on to become Gizmo Highway and is still one of our most popular sites. Gizmo Highway was even featured on the BBC Television program ’Click Online’ where it brought a whole new audience to our suite of websites. Click Online.

Intown or www.intown.com.au began life online late in 1998 and was a fairly humbly “what’s on in Geelong guide” that soon grew and had many major upgrades to make it the regions premier tourist and entertainment guide attracting tens thousands of visitors every month looking for things to do in the wider Geelong region. Take a look back at Intown’s evolution to be come the Geelong Region’s premier tourisim, entertainment & leisure guide.

The Intown Team are active members of the Geelong community and regually support many of the major events and happenings around the region.

Along the way the Intown Team expanded their suite with a range of other websites and blogs. Within Cooee stretched the boundaries out of Geelong and focuses on Australia’s great cities. The guys then focused on Asia, bringing in the rich tastes and aromas of Asian Cooking with Wokme. Happy Jappy the Japanese travel guide soon followed making a holiday travel to Japan less of a chore and more enjoyable and is one of our most successful sites to date. The very popular beer blog Hoppsy, random travel site Tripandom and transport blog Transeum soon followed. What’s hot in Vegas was introduced late 2008 bringing the glitter of the popular US gaming city of Las Vegas to the suite, and offers great information for people looking for entertainment and accommodation in this fascinating city. For the 10th Anniversary of Intown online a major overhaul of the site has been undertaken, bringing with it the latest in technology and some great stories to further promote this magnificent part of the world, Geelong. We haven’t put the finishing touches on Intown just yet, we have a few new surprises and enhancements over the coming weeks with lots more new content, more interaction and most of all a bit fun for all. Over the 12 years the Intown team have also produced some of Geelong’s best websites including, Supercats, Ford Discovery Centre, Beavs Bar, Rimini Restaurant, Signature Homes, the Rheingold to name a few.
