Now is not the time to travel

We want to share the best of Melbourne and Victoria with you, to support regional communities and inspire your future travels, but for now, please stay at home.

You can show support by planning your trip to restaurants, local stores, cellar doors and farm gates.
Book a stay for later in the year, or buy local products or a gift voucher online.

And when we’re able to travel again, remember: a short stay goes a long way in Victoria's regions.
