Take a slice of Europe and dash of the Mediterranean and you have Melbourne, a city that charms you with its streetside cafes, fashionable boutiques, quirky suburbs and to-die-for art galleries. The wide Yarra river meanders through the city to Port Phillip Bay from where Tasmania is but a short boat ride away. Melbourne thrives on adrenalin high events, be it the Australian Open, the Foster's Australian Grand Prix, the Rip Curl Pro (the world's most prestigious men's professional surfing circuit) or the 2006 Commonwealth Games. Chic bars, jazz venues, rattling trams, haute couture; Melbourne has style and shows it with panache.

Tour of Grampians National Park
Travel across the city of Ballarat, Victoria’s second largest regional center and explore its cosmopolitan lifestyle which blends beautifully with the ethnic elegance of the gold rush era. The Grampians National Park covers a large area in the west of Victoria. There are some great Aboriginal rock art sites set amongst the beautiful flowers and rocky landscape. It is a popular spot for bush walking and rock climbing to simply admiring the spectacular views. Nestled in the heart of the Grampians, Halls Gap is a beautiful small town housing a number of cafes and tourist shops facing the grassy terrain fronting Stony Creek. The Grampians have been frequented by holidaymakers and trekkers, seeking a mountain forest and lake aura, time and again. Admire the phenomenal Jaws of Death and feast on the panoramic beauty of the landscape from the Boroka lookout and the Balconies.

The stupendous MacKenzie Falls impress with their mammoth torrents of water descending over huge cliffs into a deep pool. Spot deer, kangaroos, rosellas and kookaburras amidst a rich cloister of flora at the Zumsteins Park. The Grampians is indeed a unique getaway to a land of serenity.

Penguins koalas and Fur Seals
Watch a sunset show starring the world’s smallest penguins. At the Penguin Parade, tuxedoed fairy penguins, the size of seagulls, strut up the beach to their burrows in Penguin Reserve on Summerland Beach while nearly 100,000 short-tailed shearwaters arrive here after a 8,000-kilometre journey from the frozen Arctic Sea.

Say hello to koalas from treetop boardwalks at the Koala Conservation Centre and, at Churchill Island, step back in time. In this heritage island-farm you can stroll through historic buildings, see a historic working farm and meet farm animals like Clydesdale horses, Highland cattle, sheep, ducks, chickens and peacocks.
