Victoria knows about food and wine, it also knows how to host events, the Victorian 'season' includes world class festivals to sports and culture, and Victoria has it's share of Australia's natural beauty. Cool Melbourne with it's thriving café culture and art and design scene (encompassing good shopping) is the hub for visitors to venture off along Victoria's scenic rocky coast (think rocky tors like knives sticking into the beach) or into the lush wine regions, the now degraded goldmining towns and hinterland of wide lakes and mountain ranges. But some people still just visit for the sport (tennis, grand prix racing, horse racing, the cricket or the Aussie rules football), comedy festival or the Philip Island penguin parade.
