Melbourne is the capital city of the state of Victoria, Australia. As mainland Australia’s smallest state (about the same size as Britain but with a population of just four million), the majority of attractions are accessible within a day in Victoria.
Attractions abound: From the ski-fields in winter, the Mornington Peninsula in summer and the wine regions of the Yarra Valley, Bellarine Peninsula and Victorian Pyrenees at any time of the year, Victoria is blessed with abundant attractions and activities to suit all interests and timeframes.
Join the excitement of watching the famous little Penguins march (or rather waddle) out of the sea as dawn breaks, or head down the majestic Great Ocean Road to see the monolithic Twelve Apostles rock formations; these scenes will never be forgotten.
Enjoy pampering and preening in Daylesford, Victoria’s spa capital, or get a taste of the ‘real’ Australia in any of a thousand small town pubs. Wherever you go, you’ll find the friendliness and openness for which Australians are famous the world over.
