Melbourne
Delight all five senses by wandering down Melbourne's street art covered laneways, gazing up at 19th century buildings, finding zen in incredible tree-lined boulevards and reveling in shopping meccas - all with a bearded-barista made coffee in hand. The sports-mad folk can froth over an AFL game at the Melbourne Cricket Ground or a grand slam at Rod Laver Arena. And to mellow out again after the highs of that excitement, kick back in the achingly hip plazas, bars and restaurants scattered along the Yarra River.Great Ocean Road (B100)
The 243 kilometre National Heritage listed road will lead the eager traveller to iconic wonders like the Twelve Apostles, Otway National Park, Bells Beach and Lord Ard Gorge. And it’s not just about the destination - the journey is full of green rainforests; such quaint seaside towns as Torquay, Lorne, Angelsea, Apollo Bay and Port Campbell; world class beaches; stunning limestone cliffs; and amazing views of the Southern Ocean.Yarra Valley
This fertile valley provides Australia with award-winning wines, farms, dairies, and orchards. Picture-perfect wineries are a must-visit for their scenery and their vintages. Tastings and behind-the-scenes wine tours are available. To venture beyond the vines, a horseback ride in scenic gardens or sunrise balloon ride offer spectacular views with a shot of adrenaline.Phillip Island
Charming Phillip Island is practically run by penguins. In fact, the Penguin Parade is the number one attraction here. Watch entire penguin colonies make their daily migration as they emerge from the ocean and return waddling to their sand dune burrows. Once you get a taste of wildlife, you’ll be back for me. Seal Rocks, home to tens of thousands of fur seals, is another popular destination, as is birdwatching from Rhyll Inlet.About Victoria
