Victoria (VIC)

Victoria is the smallest state but the capital of Melbourne is the second most populated city in Australia. The weather in Victoria can be hard to predictable. The seasons are usually cooler than other Australian states and territories and it mainly experiences fog and frost in winter.

Melbourne is considered to be a culturally significant capital not only of Australia but also of the world. It has played host to the Commonwealth games and the world economic forums. The famous Crown Casino and Federation Square are located in the heart of the Central Business District and is a must-see for all visitors to truly soak in Melbourne’s unique atmosphere.

The Melbourne Food & Wine Festival has been around since 1993 and is one of the biggest and most popular events of its kind. It attracts many world-class chefs, food critics and winemakers from all over the world every year during its fortnight-long run in March.

Victoria’s Phillip Island has over 3 million visitors every year. Many of them are there to see the famous Penguin Parade, where Fairy Penguins, only 43 centimetres tall, swim onto the shore.
