Compared to the rest of Australia, Victoria is only a small state, but
it sure packs a powerful punch. And it’s precisely this intimate scale that
makes each of Victoria’s 13 regions so accessible – ocean beaches, seaside
villages, mountain ranges, ski fields and national parks are all at your
fingertips.
Its capital city, Melbourne is set around the shores of Port Phillip Bay and
is reknown for arts, culture and fine dining. The city itself, laid out in a
large rectangle and boasting a lively and cosmopolitan pulse, sits on the
northern banks of the Yarra River, about five kilometres from the bay.Outside
the city lie wineries, surf beaches, natural attractions and ski
resorts.Victoria may be Australia's smallest mainland state, but this does not
stop it from still hosting some of the best National Parks and wonderful
landscapes in the country.
A short tram ride from the city centre, Melbourne’s suburban neighbourhoods
are a must see for anyone wanting to experience what life here is really all
about.Australia's second largest city, Melbourne is the gateway to Victoria and
all the delights it has to offer. The city has many hotels restaurants and
theatres along with the natural wonders of Phillip Island, and the Dandenong
Ranges which are within easy reach.
The states Wonderful coastal scenery, National Parks and rainforests can be
found along the Great Ocean Road, from Geelong and the South West near the
border of South Australia. North from here, in the West is desert land and
beautiful wildflowers, where you will find the Sunset Country which is a dry
semi-desert land.
The general climate of Victoria is cooler than other parts of Australia. The
Coast is generally humid, allthough inland it can get extremely cold. To
contradict oneself, however, it is often hotter in Melbourne than other places
during the summer, but can often suffer from very unpredictable and changable
weather.The Victorian High Country is a region for all seasons with spectacular
changing colours of the landscape in the warmer months and the excitement of the
ski season in the winter.
Whether it be the cosmopolitan capital city Melbourne, the famous Great Ocean
Road, the grandeur of the Grampians, the history of the High Country and the
Goldfields or the open stretches of the Murray Outback, Victoria offers the
traveller a range of holiday, short break and drive experiences.
