roughly the size of the British Isles. Despite its relatively small size, Victoria packs a huge amount into a compact area. It has a wealth of attractions from sweeping coastlines, pristine beaches and national parks teeming with wildlife to wineries, lakes and mountains offering skiing, climbing and hiking.<\/p>\n<p>The climate of Victoria can best be described as &#8216;varied&#8217; and is well known for being changeable. &#8216;<strong>Four seasons in day<\/strong>&#8216; is how many locals describe the south coast. Winter has cool, wet weather along the coast and the <strong>Victorian Alps<\/strong> are covered in snow. Because the north of the state is much closer to the centre of Australia, it exhibits a characteristically warmer and drier climate than the south, which borders the <strong>Bass Straight<\/strong> und <strong>Southern Ocean<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;http:\/\/bikeroundoz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/map_victoria.png&#8221; title_text=&#8221;map_victoria&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_fullwidth_image src=&#8221;http:\/\/bikeroundoz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/vic_melbourne-skyline.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;vic_melbourne skyline&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_fullwidth_image][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|10px||10px|false|true&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|10px||10px|false|true&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Victoria&#8217;s capital, <strong>Melbourne<\/strong>, sits on the <strong>Yarra River<\/strong> and around the shores of <strong>Port Phillip Bay<\/strong>.

You could spend a very busy week or easily take three and still fill your time.<\/p>\n<p>Many riders start in Melbourne and ride past most of the areas above before heading up to Sydney and beyond. This is a good plan for a longer longer trip and there&#8217;s more incredible scenery awaiting you just over the border in New South Wales!<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;http:\/\/bikeroundoz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/signature_mark.png&#8221; title_text=&#8221;signature_mark&#8221; align=&#8221;right&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; max_width_phone=&#8221;35%&#8221; max_width_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;http:\/\/bikeroundoz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/isolated-adviceinfo-markbmw.png&#8221; title_text=&#8221;isolated-adviceinfo-markbmw&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><div class=\"et_pb_module df_adh_heading df_adh_heading_0\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_module_inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"df-heading-container\">\r\n                \r\n                \r\n                <h1 class=\"df-heading\"><span class=\"prefix\">BERATUNG UND INFORMATION<\/span>  <span class=\"suffix\">TIPS, TRICKS AND USEFUL ADVICE<\/span><\/h1>\r\n                \r\n            <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_module difl_iconlist difl_iconlist_0\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_module_inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"difl_iconlist_notice\">Add one or more list items.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><li class=\"et_pb_module difl_iconlistitem difl_iconlistitem_0\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_module_inner\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"item-elements et_pb_with_background\">\r\n                    <span class=\"item-elements-group\"><span class=\"difl_icon_item_container\"> <span class=\"difl_icon_item_content_wrapper\"><&#8221;h1&#8243; class=\"difl_icon_item_header et_pb_with_background\"><span>&#8221;GENERAL<\/span><\/&#8221;h1&#8243;><\/span><\/span><\/span>\r\n                    <span class=\"item-tooltip-data\" style=\"display:none\"><\/span>\r\n                <\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/li><\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":770,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-780","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bikeroundoz.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/780","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bikeroundoz.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bikeroundoz.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bikeroundoz.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bikeroundoz.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=780"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/bikeroundoz.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/780\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":230994,"href":"https:\/\/bikeroundoz.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/780\/revisions\/230994"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bikeroundoz.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/770"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bikeroundoz.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=780"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
