Victoria has two major Australian icons - Melbourne and the Great Ocean Road. Whilst these are incredible places, this small state offers a lot for those who travels beyond the major sights.
Anyone who ventures to The Grampians, Wilson’s Prom, Dandenong Ranges and Yarra Valley will find incredible wilderness with few people but lots of wildlife; except mobs of kangaroos, koalas and even the occasional emu.
