Explore by Councils

Across Victoria’s 79 councils, every city, shire and rural region offers its own mix of landscapes, culture, history and local experiences. Instead of generic travel lists, Local Vic brings together handpicked destinations, trails and local highlights under each council which makes it special.

With Local Vic, you don’t have to scroll through generic travel lists. Instead, you can choose where you want to go, by council or by the area closest to you, and instantly discover curated experiences that fit your kind of day out. Pick a council that catches your eye, and you’ll uncover local walks, heritage spots, scenic drives, community favourites, and small producers that rarely make it into mainstream travel guides.

Whether you’re chasing food and wine, wildlife encounters, outdoor adventures, art and culture, or heritage stories, Victoria has it all.

Journey through Victoria’s diverse regions, each with dramatically different landscapes and all within a few hours from Melbourne.
