Perfectly placed in Australia’s south-east

Victoria sits in the south-east corner of mainland Australia, bordered by New South Wales to the north and South Australia to the west, with the Southern Ocean and Bass Strait along its coastline. Melbourne is the state’s capital and main gateway, with international and domestic flights into Melbourne Airport and domestic flights into Avalon Airport near Geelong. Many of the state’s highlights, including the Mornington Peninsula, Yarra Valley, Phillip Island, Daylesford and the start of the Great Ocean Road, are within one to two hours’ drive of Melbourne. The Grampians, Wilsons Promontory and the High Country are around three to four hours away.
