Melbourne
Victoria is the southernmost of the eastern mainland states of Australia. The state is roughly triangular in shape. New South Wales lies to the north / north-east, with the Murray River forming most of the boundary between the two states. South Australia lies to the west and the southern coast forms the other side of the triangle.
Melbourne, the capital of Victoria and a cultural hub, is known for the good things in life - fashion, food, entertainment and sport. This is a city of style, architecture, trams, theatres and art.

If you tour Victoria you have to hit the Kiewa Valley. I spent three months in Tangambalanga/Wodonga and it is beautiful scenery. The people are the best and history comes alive in Beechworth. Here the sweet shop and bakery are not to be missed, but dont forget the museums and learn about the gold rush and Ned Kelly.
Hotels and caravan parks for every budget, long or short stay. Good shopping and recreation. Close to all other sorts of good times of every sort. I could go on and on, but please email me if you have any questions. Calvin Braun |
