Travel with Children
With its manageable distances, abundant wildlife, child-centric attractions and
activities, and a tradition of family-friendly holidays, Victoria is an ideal destina-
tion for families. Melbourne is a fine place to spend time with kids, thanks to its
interactive museums, City Circle tram, sweeping parkland and innovative play-
grounds.

ory and those mighty cute penguins.

various locations), and there are few better spots to view whales and their calves.
The Murray River
Echuca has paddle steamers chugging up the Murray and kids will enjoy watching waterskiers carving up the river;
book them in for a lesson.
