You will be spoilt for choice Im sure... Cant help with specifics because Im in sunny Qld.

this is tri-specific forum but a bit "full on" http://www.transitions.org.au/

this is a good resource as well with races in victoria and a Tri section
www.coolrunning.com.au

We are just going into Tri Season - races start in september/october

Get on there and ask the same question I'm sure you'll get lots of help

I'm not in Vic either so can't offer much help on specific clubs. I am sure you have seen this site.

There will be loads of events starting up in Spring - good luck!

Never did it until I came to Australia. A lot of companies enter the BRW corporate triathlon which is what I do sometimes. It is a short course but done in all the cities.

You should also try USM Events and the Challenge Series for Tri's in Victoria you can enter.

If I move there I will look into it. I am training for the City 2 Surf in Sydney at the moment. After that I am considering an Ocean Swim and maybe a tri in the New Year. I would love to do the Bondi Bronte. The Coogee to Bondi sounds a bit much to me.
