Victoria, The Perfect Start To An Australian Campervan Adventure

There are few countries in the world which offer the wealth of unique experiences as Australia

. Traveling the entire country in an effort to see everything it has to offer is a tall order, though far from impossible. If youre on a quest to appreciate everything the country has to offer, or even just its greatest hits, then you need to start small. Pick one of Australias states, rent a campervan, set an itinerary, and get started exploring!

Many people find Victoria to be a great state to start their Australian campervan explorations within. Located on the countrys southeastern tip, Victoria is the smallest of Australias states, making it easier to explore than, say, the massive expanse of Western Australia.

When starting your campervan trip through Victoria, here are a couple of incredible sites worth making a stop to check out.

Sovereign Hill

Located in and around the town of Ballarat, Sovereign Hill offers an incredible opportunity to experience what Australia was like in the middle of the 1800s. At this point in its history Australia was experiencing an incredible gold rush and Sovereign Hill was one of the rushs major sites. Modern Sovereign Hill offers an accurate recreation of what this bustling center of trade was like a hundred and fifty years ago at the peak of its productivity.

Sovereign Hill provides visitors with a range of unique activities including witnessing an authentic gold pour with $50,000 worth of ore; an underground, hologram-driven recreation of the founding of the worlds second-largest gold nugget, and a whole host of individuals in period clothing offering authentic experiences such as rides in a horse-drawn coach.

Puffing Billy Steam Railway

Australias oldest steam railway is also one of the few steam trains still in operation in the country! The Puffing Billy Steam Railway continues to offer rides through over 24 km of Victorias gorgeous forests and gullies. There are few antique railways as safe, enjoyable and well-preserved as the Puffing Billy, making a ride on this engine a truly world-class experience.

The railway was built at the turn of the 20th century and can be accessed easily via Melbourne. The carriages you will ride are open on the sides, providing the best possible view of the surrounding countryside and the front of the train as it billows forward. The Puffing Billy provides a range of options to choose from including an opportunity to dine on the moving train as well as the always popular Annual Puffing Billy Great Train Race. Do you think you can outrun an antique locomotive? Theres only one way to find out!

Otway Fly Treetop Adventures

Speaking of unique experiences, there are few destinations in the world offering the equivalent of the Otway Fly Treetop Adventures.

Located in Beech Forest, Victoria, the Otway Fly Treetop Adventures gives its visitors the chance to experience these gorgeous forests from a truly birds-eye perspective. At Otway youll be able to experience the forest from above taking advantage of one of two methods- either by experiencing the Tree Top Walk and traveling along the worlds largest elevated forest walkway, or through the Otway Fly Treetop Adventures Zip-Lining opportunities. If youve never zip-lined in your life then you need to feel the rush of air as you (safely) barrel above the forest along its tree-tops.
