Me and my big south – Down Under charm in Victoria
Grab your swimsuit, hiking boots, leotard and top hat... basically, if you can dream it, Victoria's got it. Along Australia's southeastern coast, Victoria's known for its diversity – you'll find everything from world-class museums and entertainment in cosmopolitan Melbourne, to hiking trails in the Victorian Alps and sandy beaches along the Tasman Sea. Although it's the country's most densely populated state, Victoria's got plenty of scenic wilderness in its epic national parks, and you won't have any trouble finding Victoria vacation rentals near the countless mountains, forests, desert and coastline throughout the state.
From the mountains to the sea – Victoria's highs and lows
When it comes to Victoria's activities, the only problem you'll have is choosing what to do first. Outdoorsy types will fall (not literally, we hope) for the hiking trails, campsites and epic scenery of the area's lofty mountain ranges. For a more chilled-out outdoor experience, you can head to the sandy beaches of the aptly named Surf Coast. In urban Melbourne, you'll find plenty of arts and culture, as well as posh shopping, international dining and trendy nightlife. You can also catch everything from ballet and opera to stand-up comedy and live local bands.
To Victoria go the spoils – the best sights in the state
Cosmopolitan Melbourne, the state capital, is the heart of Victoria's thriving cultural scene, where you'll find everything from aquariums, zoos and art museums to pro football and casinos. The city's home to the country's oldest public art museum, the National Gallery of Victoria, and you can also find art, culture, film and food festivals all throughout the year. Away from the city lights, you can get back to nature with Victoria vacation rentals near Grampians National Park, a 167,000-hectare preserve with sandstone peaks and a wide array of plant and animal life.
The climes they are a-changin' – Victoria's varied weather
Despite its relatively small size, Victoria boasts a number of distinct climates, with everything from relatively wet oceanic zones on the southern coast to arid semi-deserts in the northwest. Average summer highs in the hottest parts of the state regularly climb to 32 degrees and beyond, while more temperate areas like Melbourne generally peak around 27 degrees in January and February. Winter temps vary a bit too, from right around freezing in the mountains to a downright-balmy 14 degrees on the coast. Whenever you visit, you'll find Victoria vacation rentals with everything necessary for that perfect getaway – all year round.
Southern comforts – Victoria's vibrant vistas
Victoria lies along the southeastern coast of mainland Australia, just north of the Tasman Sea. In the north, you can find the peaks of the Victorian Alps, while the cool southern coast boasts more than 200 km of sandy beaches and rocky shoreline. Melbourne, the capital, is dense and urban, surrounded by more residential cities and towns. The state's numerous national parks boast a breathtaking array of scenery, from rivers, sandstone formations and subalpine forests to swamps, desert and brushland; many also provide habitats for wildlife like kangaroos, echidnas, wallabies, koalas and countless species of birds.
