Re: What you love about Victoria
Wilsons prom, is spectacular, probably the best sceneary that one could hope for within a small geographical area. I suspect that it's just a hint of what one gets In Tassie or NZ though. The great ocean road, 90 miles plus of the most fantastic drive by the sea one could ever get, with crashing surf and isolated beaches. I'm glad to see that it got a mention. The laneways and shopping that is Inner Melbourne, and Vic market, Everyone else has forgotten to mention, The mecca of Anglo/Aussie sport, In the MCG. Now that is spectacular.
Beyond all of this, is arguably the best eating out experince in the world. and blow me down it's damn cheap, Ethnic restaurants at their best abound. The best three streets in Melboune for this are undisputedly, Brunswick St Fitzroy. Lygon St Carlton, and Bridge Rd, Richmond, Opps better mention Chapel St, Prahran. All you need is circa 30 quid, for two. and your in Utopia. Special distinctions go to, Sydney Rd, Brunswick, Southbank, and Acland st St kilda
Dammit I'm hungry now.

Good state for motorcycle riders, has some of the best roads for bikes. Oh and of course Philip Island, Moto gp and the superbikes. I rode to Philip Island from Canberra in 2001. I found everyone in Victoria very helpfull with directions, even the police weren't to bad.
