Best hiking trails in Victoria
Victoria packs an unusual amount of variety into short drives: the sandstone ranges and rock art of the Grampians (Gariwerd), the cliff-and-beach walking of the Great Ocean Road and the Otways, the granite headlands of Wilsons Promontory, and the high plains of the Alpine country. Weather is the defining risk — the high country can turn genuinely dangerous in any month of the year.
