Often likened to a jigsaw puzzle or a patchwork quilt, Victoria is one of Australia’s smallest states but has some of the greatest and most accessible regional diversity. On a day trip or weekend away from Melbourne, you’re spoilt for choice with options for wineries & distilleries, beaches and craggy mountains ranges, skiing and old fashioned spa towns.

One of the best things about travelling in Victoria is that you experience a huge variety of experiences, without travelling very far. Charming country towns, laidback coastal towns, wineries & pristine wilderness are never very far away.

International travellers can fly direct to Melbourne, spend a few days exploring the country’s cultural capital & then hit the road to discover more of the state. Victoria is one of the coldest parts of the country, with an average daily temperature of 21 degrees – come prepared for a bit of wind chill & rain if travelling between June-September.
