Victoria

Victoria boasts almost 2,000 km of coastline, with the Southern Ocean, Bass Strait, and the Tasman Sea forming the State’s southern border. The Great Ocean Road is famous for the imposing beauty of the Twelve Apostles, whale watching and history of ships being wrecked in its treacherous waters. The Murray River, Australia’s principal river, forms the northern border separating Victoria from New South Wales. 

In Victoria, experience spectacular surf, desert, rainforest, mountains, rugged coastal scenery, goldfields, vineyards, lakes, magnificent rivers, wildflowers in spring, and snow in Winter. Native wildlife includes kangaroos, koalas, wombats, platypus, echidnas and lovable little penguins, which parade nightly along Phillip Island beach.
