Victoria Top Things To Do
• Wine taste at some of Australia's best wineries. Outstanding wine-growing regions include the Yarra Valley; the Mornington Peninsula; and the Rutherglen Region in the Grampians. The Victorian Wineries Tourism Council (website: www.visitvictoria.com/wineries) can provide further details.
• Whizz down the country's best snowfields on downhill skis or a snowboard through some of Victoria's high country: Mount Buller, Falls Creek, Mount Hotham, Mount Buffalo and Mount Baw Baw all have excellent facilities.
• Whale watch along the south coast, especially at Warrnambool, where migrating whales can be observed between July and September.
• Ride world-class waves at Bells Beach on the Great Ocean Road near Torquay, where the Rip Curl Pro, a world championship surfing contest, is held annually over Easter. Woolamai in Phillip Island offers excellent surfing for the more experienced.
• Learn to kick the leather off an Australian Rules or ‘Aussie Rules' football. The game originated in Victoria and the climax of the season is the Australian Football League Grand Final, played in September at the famous Melbourne Cricket Ground.
• Drive the stunning Great Ocean Road, one of the country's most scenic routes with seemingly impossible twists and turns on a road hewn from sheer cliffs.
