Victoria

Melbourne gives Victoria its energy, a city built around food, culture and sport, and from there the state’s variety opens up within a few hours’ drive. There is wildlife to encounter at close quarters, one of the world’s great coastal drives to follow, gardens and mineral springs to relax in, and food, wine and coffee of a consistently high standard throughout. We like Victoria for exactly this reason: it rewards a short, well-planned loop rather than a long one.
