Victoria is a state located in the south eastern corner of Australia. It is the country’s second-smallest state, covering 227, 600 square kilometres, roughly the size of the British Isles, but the most densely populated and urbanised. Over five million people now inhabit the region and it is the second most populous Australian state, after NSW. Melbourne is Victoria's capital and largest city, with more than 70% of all Victorians living there.
Packed into such a compact area is a wealth of diverse regional areas and attractions, from sweeping coastline and pristine beaches to national parks and forests teeming with wildlife to wineries, lakes and mountains offering skiing, climbing and hiking.
Despite its small size, the Victorian climate varies across the state. The north is much drier and has warmer weather than the south. The country’s seasons are the reverse of those in the northern hemisphere and the climate can be characterised as warm to hot in summer (December to February), mild in autumn (March to May), cold and damp in winter (June to August), and cool in spring (September to November).
