Victoria
Start in Melbourne and explore beyond. Melbourne is a hopping city with a European vibe. Narrow streets lined with sunny cafes. Victorian arcades with high-end shopping. Excellent restaurants and a vibrant arts community. Plenty to keep you busy for a few days.
Most travelers break out — taking day trips to Yarra Valley wineries and foodie tours on the Mornington Peninsula, and visiting the penguins waddling ashore on Phillip Island.
Some go farther afield to take in the Great Ocean Road. If you’re looking for one of the world’s best road trips, you’ll find it down at the bottom of the country. Days and days of stunning oceanside cliffs with wave-ravished beaches and charming historic towns.
