About

Find out a bit more about why we exist and who we are.

The Why

Our purpose at The Mainspring is to create an online magazine and hub to showcase, highlight and elevate local businesses, entrepreneurs and creatives across Geelong and the region.

We acknowledge that we live, work on the stolen land of the Wadawurrung people of the Kulin nation. Always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.

Pantry items? In addition to the many local fruit and grocer stores that have remained open while implementing additional hygiene and social distancing measures, there are also many cafes now offering pantry essentials - with delivery too!
Thank you everyone for the response to #OpenforGeelong. We have managed to get a big list together that is now up on our website (see the link in our bio). Swipe ➡️ for just a few on the list.
