Whittington is a residential suburb of Geelong, Victoria, Australia, located 4km south-east of the city centre. It is bordered by Boundary, Townsend and Coppards roads and by the former Geelong-Queenscliff Railway Line now known as the Bellarine Rail Trail.
A large part of Whittington is laid out in cul de sacs and courts to inhibit traffic and to help create numerous neighbourhood reserves. Whittington contains a shopping centre, a community centre, recreation reserves and the Whittington Primary School.
[edit] History
The area of Whittington was originally known as Breakwater, and named after an early land owner, James Whittington during the 1920's.
