The Twelve Apostles
You might think these are just a bunch of rocks sticking out of the ocean. However, the Twelve Apostles is Victoria’s most popular natural landmark. These rock stacks were formed by constant erosion of the coastal mainland for millions of years and are best seen at sunrise or sunset.
Mackenzie Falls
Located in the Grampians, MacKenzie Falls is one of the most famous and biggest waterfalls in Victoria. It is renowned for its freshwater cascading over huge cliffs into a deep pool while producing a rainbow mist against the sunlight. Spend some time enjoying the many trails and tracks and have a picnic with your mates. This majestic waterfall should be included in your must-visit nature spots.
The Pinnacles
If you’re looking for an Instagram-worthy location, head over to The Pinnacles on Phillip Island. You’ll witness scenery that appears to have been ripped out of the pages of a Tolkien novel. Located on the island’s southernmost point, take as many photos as you can of the pink granite stakes jutting out of the sea.
Organ Pipes
The Organ Pipes are 20 kilometres from Melbourne’s CBD on Calder Highway. The Pipes formed a million years ago after Mount Holden erupted.
As the lava cooled, it created a set of 70-metre basalt columns that resembles cathedral organ pipes, hence the name. Situated in Keilor North, you can enjoy the walking track or have a relaxing picnic at the gorgeous parkland.
The Pink Salt Lakes
The pink hue is from the mix of red algae and the solid salt bed of the lakes. The lake’s colour can change from salmon pink to bright white depending on the weather or what time of day it is. Don’t forget to bring some sunblock and insect repellent as the area can get very hot and insects are quite active.
