Melbourne

Victoria is Australia's second smallest state after Tasmania, and is located on the southeast coast. Although it is small, this state has a lot to offer its visitors, especially in terms of beach and nature. But in Victoria there is much more, and it is that in this region we also find the melbourne city, with its urban entertainments.

As we have said, there are several interesting things in the Victoria region, although we must point out two essential that we should never miss. One is the city of Melbourne, and the other is known as the 12 Apostles, rock formations on the coast that have gone around the world, and that remind us of the Beach of the Cathedrals of Lugo.

This is the most important city in the Victoria region. As we are going to have many natural spaces to enjoy, it is always great to make a stop in a big city like Melbourne. In her we can find a lot of entertainment. Stroll through the bohemian area of ​​St. Kilda and enjoy with its tram, buy fresh and local produce in the local open air markets, visit the Melbourne Museum or its Exhibition Hall, watch cricket or football matches of the Australian League are just some of the things we can do in this city. And best of all, is that if the asphalt exhausts us or overwhelms us, in short distances we can find immense vineyards, wild nature beaches and natural spaces. This is the great charm of Australia and its cities.

Great Ocean Road and the 12 Apostles

Driving down the Great Ocean Road takes us directly to the incredible 12 Apostles, rock formations that about 20 million years ago were attached to the cliffs of the coast, but that due to the erosion of the water and the wind were wearing away until they were isolated. There is much to do in this area, such as enjoying a walk on the beach, walking down the Gibson stairs down the cliff, or learning the stories of shipwrecks. There are even places where they offer helicopter trips to see the incredible rock formations that jut out into the sea up close. One of the best places to enjoy nature as is. In addition, it must be taken into account that the rocks are wearing down at the rate of about two centimeters every year, so there will come a time when there will be none, so it is worth seeing them in all their splendor.

Wildlife on Phillip Island
