Victoria Holidays

Victoria is Australia’s smallest mainland state but is packed with diversity, from serene beaches to ancient mountain ranges. Rich in history, it was a centre of the gold rush era and remains a cultural hub with a strong indigenous heritage.

Melbourne is your gateway for exploration, a well-connected cosmopolitan city, centrally located among Victoria’s more rural attractions. Below are some of our favourite destinations within Victoria:

Melbourne

Melbourne is renowned for its vibrant arts scene, eclectic neighbourhoods, and world-class dining. Wander through the laneways filled with street art, explore Fitzroy’s bohemian atmosphere, or catch a cricket, AFL, or rugby game at the iconic MCG. The city perfectly balances urban sophistication with relaxed café culture.

Great Ocean Road

One of Australia’s most scenic coastal road trips, the Great Ocean Road winds past dramatic cliffs, pristine beaches, and the famous Twelve Apostles limestone stacks. It’s ideal for those looking to combine stunning views with nature walks and charming seaside towns.

Philip Island

Philip Island is famous for its nightly penguin parade, where little penguins waddle ashore to their burrows. This routine often captivates younger travellers, making Philip Island very popular for Australia family holidays. Beyond the penguins, the island offers coastal hiking, wildlife parks, and surf beaches.

Yarra Valley

The Yarra Valley is Victoria’s premier wine region, known especially for its cool-climate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Here you can enjoy private or group wine tastings, gourmet food experiences, and scenic vineyard views, all within easy reach of Melbourne.

The Grampians National Park

A series of rocky mountain ranges, the Grampians National Park is rich in Aboriginal rock art sites. It’s a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, offering spectacular lookouts, waterfalls, and peaceful bushwalks throughout the year, a place to consider for any Australia hiking holiday.
