As 2025 unfolds, residents of Geelong are looking back at a set of bold prophecies made for their city. Local psychic medium, Miss Kelly, publicly shared her visions for the year ahead, forecasting everything from sporting glory to significant urban changes. Now, with several months passed, the Geelong Advertiser investigates just how accurate those predictions have proven to be.
The Prophecies: A Mixed Bag of Hits and Misses
Miss Kelly's predictions, shared via social media, covered a wide spectrum of local life. One of her most specific forecasts centred on the Geelong Football Club. She foresaw a challenging season that would see the Cats struggle to find consistency, ultimately missing the finals series. This prediction has, so far, shown some accuracy, with the team experiencing a turbulent start to the AFL season.
Beyond the sporting arena, the psychic made intriguing claims about Geelong's landscape. She predicted a major development approval for the controversial Fishermans Bend area, suggesting a significant high-rise project would get the green light. While there has been ongoing discussion and some progress in planning, a definitive, landmark approval of the scale she implied has not yet materialised.
In a more community-focused vision, Miss Kelly anticipated a surge in local arts and culture funding, leading to a vibrant, city-wide festival in the latter part of the year. While council initiatives continue, a large-scale, new festival triggered by a sudden funding windfall has not been announced.
Surprising Nods to Infrastructure and Environment
The psychic's gaze also turned to infrastructure and environmental issues. She suggested Geelong would face an unusual water-related issue linked to an ageing pipe network, potentially causing disruption in an inner suburb. Interestingly, there have been several reported water main bursts and infrastructure challenges in recent months, aligning loosely with this theme of utility troubles.
Another environmental prediction involved the Corio Bay shoreline, with Miss Kelly sensing a positive ecological discovery or cleanup effort that would boost public morale. While ongoing conservation work continues, a single, standout event of this nature has not captured major headlines in 2025.
Community Reaction and the Nature of Prediction
The review of these predictions has sparked conversation among locals. Some residents point to the general themes of sporting struggle and infrastructure woes as being reflective of broader, ongoing conversations in the city, making them seem plausible. Others argue the predictions are too vague to be meaningfully assessed or are simply reflections of common community concerns.
Miss Kelly herself has previously stated that her visions are interpretations of energy and potential timelines, not absolute certainties. The exercise highlights the enduring human fascination with foreseeing the future, especially when it concerns one's own hometown.
As the year continues, only time will tell if any of the remaining predictions come to pass. For now, Geelong's story in 2025 is being written by the real-world actions of its council, its businesses, and its community, proving that the future, psychic insights or not, remains firmly in the making.
