Chic, cosmopolitan Melbourne is renowned for its culture and style, but not to be overlooked are the multitude of natural wonders that encircle this modern, daynamic city.

Step back in time to colonial days in the former gold-mining towns of Ballarat and the riverboat Port of Echuca, soak up the serenity of the lush forests of the Dandenong, Yarra and Otway ranges, or breathe the crisp high-country air on a skiing expedition to the snow-capped Apls.

South of the CBD, Port Phillip Bay and the tumultuous Southern Ocean sculpt the scenery of the Victorian coast, with the Great Ocean Road to the west and the ruggedly picturesque Wilsons Promontory to the east.
