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.

I did it in Sydney Harbour. Mexicans here swear the place is just as warm as anywhere else.

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.

The Tri season starts in Melbourne in November with two series running side by side. I have done the Gatorade one and going to do them again this year
