Avalon: Swan Hill - YSWH -> North

Corio Bay defines the setting of Avalon — its northern shore and flat volcanic plains give this small Victorian locality between Melbourne and Geelong an open, coastal character. Avalon is best known for Avalon Airport, a former Royal Australian Air Force base that has become an important passenger and freight airport for the region. The airport also hosts the biennial Australian International Airshow, one of the country’s major aviation events. Inland, the granite hills of the You Yangs provide a distinct landmark above the low-lying terrain, while the bay ties the area to Geelong’s waterfront and port.

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.
