Built around a rural service centre on the roads north of Melbourne, Whittlesea grew into a small township at the edge of the Plenty Valley. Eucalypt woodland and low ridges mark the transition between Melbourne’s outer fringe and rural northern Victoria. The Plenty River runs through the valley before joining the Yarra River. Nearby Yan Yean Reservoir, completed in 1857 as Melbourne’s first major water-supply reservoir, recalls the city’s early efforts to secure water beyond its growing urban area. Whittlesea remains closely connected with farming country, bushland and established routes towards the Great Dividing Range.

Among Australia’s regions, Victoria stands out for the remarkable variety packed between the Murray River and Bass Strait. The state combines fertile northern plains, the Central Victorian Goldfields, the forested Great Dividing Range and a long southern coast. Bendigo and Ballarat grew rapidly during the gold rushes of the 1850s, while Melbourne developed into Victoria’s cultural and economic centre. Along the southwest, the Great Ocean Road follows a dramatic stretch of coastline, contrasting with the farmland and river country inland.

Australia’s terrain extends from tropical rainforests in the northeast to arid plains in the interior, producing dramatic climatic contrasts. The Great Dividing Range follows much of the eastern coast, while the Great Barrier Reef lies off Queensland in the Coral Sea and Uluru rises from the central desert. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples maintain living cultures whose connections to Country long predate European settlement. In Sydney, the sail-like Opera House, completed in 1973, stands beside one of the world’s best-known harbours. Discover further points of interest through webcams located across Australia.
