Explore Victoria

Great Ocean Road

One of the most beautiful coastal roads in the world, the Great Ocean Road winds along the southern coast of Victoria. Winding your way past windswept beaches, towering rock formations and tall mountain forests in the hinterland of the Great Otways National Park, charming towns make perfect stops for a coastal stroll to stretch your legs and feast on delectable fresh seafood. Take your journey to the sky for a scenic flight or helicopter ride along the stunning coastline. Not just a scenic drive, the Great Ocean Road was built by returned soldiers as a memorial to those who died in World War I.

Melbourne & Surrounds

As Australia’s fashion, cultural and sporting capital, Melbourne (Aboriginal name: Narrm; pronounced: narr-m) seamlessly blends sophisticated style and creativity with old-world charm. Wander through the hidden laneways and arcades, and discover the buzzing cafes, world-class art galleries, renowned museums, and award-winning restaurants woven throughout. Deepen your connection to the culture by spending time with an Indigenous guide in the stunning Royal Botanic Gardens or, for a unique perspective, kayak along the Yarra River or take to the skies in a hot air balloon for a bird's eye view.

Just beyond the city, the adventure continues along Victoria’s stunning coastline. Journey to Phillip Island to witness the world-famous Penguin Parade. Or unwind on the Mornington Peninsula, where you'll spend your morning by the sea, your afternoon exploring vineyards and your evening indulging in gourmet paddock-to-plate dining.

The Grampians

The Grampians is a breathtaking region where dramatic sandstone mountain ranges meet rich Aboriginal heritage. Known for its rugged peaks, cascading waterfalls, and wildflower-filled landscapes, the Grampians are a haven for hikers, rock climbers, and nature lovers. Explore scenic trails and keep an eye out for native wildlife, including kangaroos and emus. The region is also home to some of the oldest Aboriginal rock art sites in southeastern Australia, offering a deep connection to the area's cultural roots. Whether you're chasing views, culture, or tranquility, you'll find it in the Grampians.

Twelve Apostles & Campbell National Park

Rising majestically from the Southern Ocean, the Twelve Apostles are sculpted by millions of years of wind and waves. These seven towering limestone stacks are an everchanging spectacle not to be missed. Beyond the iconic view, Port Campbell National Park reveals a world of dramatic cliffs, windswept beaches, and natural wonders like Loch Ard Gorge, London Arch, and The Grotto. As spectacular as this coastline is visually, it also holds profound cultural significance for Aboriginal Australians, whose ancestral stories tell of a deep and timeless connection between land and sea.

Yarra Valley & Dandenongs

Just a stone's throw from Melbourne, discover over 70 cellar doors offering exceptional cool-climate wines, complemented by gourmet restaurants set amid lush scenery in the Yarra Valley. Elevate your experience with a hot air balloon flight over the valley, a nostalgic journey aboard the heritage Puffing Billy steam train, or a serene stroll through the Dandenong Ranges parks and gardens. Families and wildlife lovers alike will enjoy a visit to Healesville Sanctuary, where you can meet iconic Australian animals like kangaroos, koalas, emus, platypus, echidna and wombats.
