Found on the lowest point of Australia’s east coast, Victoria is one of Australia’s smallest states, but it packs a big punch. Here you’ll find an abundance of diverse regions to explore, and many activities that will leave you with lasting memories. Victoria has it all, from sweeping coastlines, to national parks and hiking trails that are teeming with wildlife. Victoria is also known for its food and wine culture which is admired from around the world. Explore a range of different winery regions, or one of the many hatted restaurants in Melbourne. Even better, you don’t need to travel far to experience something new. Many of Victoria’s unique regions can be easily reached as day trips from Melbourne.
Victoria is well known for its four seasons in one day. It’s not unusual to start the day off sunny, and find yourself reaching for the jumper by the afternoon. So pack layers! The seasons of Australia are the opposite from what you’ll find in the northern hemisphere. Melbourne heats up in summer (December to February), starts to cool down in autumn (March to May), can be quite cold in winter (June to August), and slowly starts to warm up in spring (September to November).
