Victoria is in the south east of Australia and while it is considered the cultural and sporting mecca of Australia, many people do not realise that this also includes distinct Aboriginal cultures as well. Victoria punches well above its weight, despite being the second-smallest, second-most populous and most densely-populated state in Australia, the range of naturally beautiful places are truly countless. Victoria offers a diverse range of camping locations that are ideal year round. From coastal to alpine to riverlands the options for camping adventures in Victoria are seemingly endless!
