The featured image is of Marri Creek, a tributary of Yarra River. It doesn’t flow in some remote part of Victoria, but near to the very heart of Melbourne! The wilderness of Australia is simply amazing!
As one of Victoria’s license plate slogans says, “Victoria – The Place to Be,” is a worthy destination for any avid cyclist.
Although Victoria is Australia’s second-smallest state, and the second-most-populated state, it’s the most densely populated state in Australia. Sounds almost like Europe or the East Coast of the United States, but it is misleading. Victoria is still vast and the six weeks I had weren’t enough to cover it all, nor I aspired to having to see it all. I had to pick and just ride. Having completed my cycling tour, all I can say is Victoria is enchanting, and I crave for bikepacking more of it. Perhaps I shall return once again. It’s been ages since I was in Australia before this bike trip, so I had to come back. Victoria, the landscape, the people, the culture is a must see destination, whether you are a cyclist, but bicycle travel around Victoria is definitively a way to go. More to come on my cycling tour of Victoria.
