Victoria’s capital city, Melbourne is located around the shores of Port Phillip Bay. The city itself sits beside the Yarra River, about five kilometres from the bay.

Melbourne-bound visitors will be able to discover a side of the city that is a secret to many with a powerful insight into a traditional culture that has evolved into a contemporary, urban landscape. Visitors to outer Melbourne and regional Victoria will be able to experience Koorie history in its original setting, dating back 60,000 years. |
 
Set sail for a day on the water, explore an underwater shipwreck, swim at a calm Murray River beach, or waterski around Gippsland lakes. Those who like to get wet can choose from white sand beaches along the Murray River, the sheltered bay beaches that extend along the Mornington Peninsula from Frankston to the heads, or the pristine Ninety Mile Beach in Gippsland.
There are a few main spots to head to when the surf's up: Phillip Island, the back beach of the Mornington Peninsula from Gunnamatta to Portsea, the Great Ocean Road starting at Torquay and heading past Jan Juc, Fairhaven and Wye River, and Gippsland's east coast. Surfers come from around the world to catch the famous breaks at Victoria's beaches, including Bells Beach.

Victoria ’s compact size, wealth of easily accessible attractions and network of quality roads make it the ideal Australian state to explore on a self-drive tour.
Victoria hugs the south-eastern tip of the Australian coast. Covering 227,600 square kilometres, the state is large enough to feature many attractions and activities, but also small enough that visitors can comfortably see and experience many of them.
Within an hour, visitors can be in regions filled with goldrush history, lush fields and rolling vineyards, beautiful beaches, native bush, plunging waterfalls and magnificent mountains. Drive a little further to discover spectacular coastal vistas and dramatic outback wilderness. |
