Hugging the tip of the Australian east coast, Victoria is Australia’s
second-smallest state. Here you will find a wealth of diverse regional
areas and attractions, from sweeping coastline and beaches to national
parks and forests teeming with wildlife. Amongst the regions
you’ll find wineries, lakes and mountains that offer skiing, climbing
and hiking. Many of Victoria’s unique and varied landscapes are easily
accessible as day trips from Melbourne. Despite its small size, the
Victorian climate varies across the state. The north is much drier and
warmer than the south. Areas include Melbourne – an exciting, multicultural
city with a rich culture, Mornington Peninsula and Grampians
– an adventurer’s paradise with climbing, canoeing, Aboriginal
art and national parks.
