The Australian state of Victoria boasts a diverse natural environment of beaches and oceans, islands, plains, valleys and mountain ranges, along with a sophisticated urban civilization, including Melbourne, Australia's second largest city and the country's premier cultural and artistic center. There are world-class wine farms, natural hot springs, and small villages with people living from the alpine highlands to the coastal areas at the tip of the peninsula. You can drive along the main roads with beautiful scenery, and visit the quaint shops and markets with local flavor!
There's no shortage of things to do in Queensland. For example, you can swim in the Great Barrier Reef, surrounded by coral thousands of years old, or explore the oldest rainforest in existence for an incredible experience. You can also relax in eco-certified rainforest hideaways, or sleep to the sound of the waves on the shores of your own pristine island. Embrace the great outdoors with the Great Barrier Reef.
