Victoria (VIC) is the smallest of the mainland states in size but is home to the country’s second most populated city, Melbourne. Often referred to as the nation’s cultural capital, Melbourne is famed for its graffiti laneways, fashion-forward boutiques and booming café scene. Victorians’ enthusiasm for sport is also legendary and this is where Australian Rules football began. The only thing more sacred than the footy is the Melbournian’s love of coffee, and here travellers will be able to find some of Australia’s best flat whites, cappuccinos and piccolo lattes.
