For spectacular wildlife spotting head to Phillip Island to see the daily penguin parade as well as lovable koalas and wallabies, and don’t miss the stunning coastal panoramas of the Great Ocean Road, ranked as one of the finest drives in the world. For hiking opportunities galore, explore the rugged wilderness of the Grampians National Park and head to the premier wine region of the Yarra Valley, there is no better place to enjoy Australia’s finest produce.
Each region of Victoria boasts its own attractions and it’s no exaggeration to say each merits a holiday in its own right. It would be just as easy to spend all your time exploring Melbourne’s colourful laneways and vibrant suburbs, as it would driving the Great Ocean Road, hiking in the Grampians or immersing yourself in the picturesque vineyards of the Yarra Valley.
