| Victoria, 227 600 km² and 4 462 100 inhabitants, three quarters of them living in Melbourne , the cultural and sport centre of the country. Melbournians
love to spend a day in the Dandenongs, large forests run through by Puffing Billy, a little old
style train.
Some of the world's most spectacular coastal scenery is to be found
along the Great Ocean Road, where the 12 Apostles, near Port
Campbell, are stunning examples of Nature's creative art of
erosion.
In Victoria is the Falls
Creek mountain (1800 metres), which offers some of the best
skiing in Australia.
The Murray River, the longest in Australia is also called the Australian
"Mississippi" (2550 kms). 
Philip island, facing
Melbourne, is noted for its penguin parade. |
