Victoria
Victoria, Australia's smallest mainland state, has such a remarkable concentration of attractions that make it an essential stop in a multi-centre tour of the country's highlights, or even well worth a holiday in its own right. There is plenty to occupy the visitor to Melbourne, which regularly tops lists of the world's most desirable cities, Victoria has many other wonderful and easily accessible attractions - all unmissable.

Melbourne, on the northern banks of the Yarra River, comprises several distinct districts that spread around the shores of Port Phillip Bay, each with their own charm and flavour giving a variety of fascinating experiences. Deservedly popular, and offering something for everyone, Melbourne possesses a flair for all kinds of lively entertainment – presenting superb festivals and concerts, arts productions and sporting spectaculars.
Just an hour’s drive south, the Mornington Peninsula is peppered with tranquil seaside villages offering excellent eateries, pretty fishing harbours and spellbinding panoramas. There are just as many rich pickings inland with an abundance of vineyards and orchards hidden away behind the rolling hills.
Travelling west, the meandering Great Ocean Road brings superb seascapes, surf beaches, rainforests and dramatic rock formations, interspersed with laidback coastal towns such as Apollo Bay and Port Fairy.
Inland, Victoria’s interior has just as much to offer as the coast, with Australia’s Spa Country around Daylesford and the fine restaurants and romantic retreats of the Yarra Valley – one of the country’s most respected wine-growing regions – awaiting discovery
