Victoria is Australia's geographically smallest mainland state, in the south-eastern corner.
In this space are topographically, geologically, and climatically diverse areas ranging from the wet, temperate climate of Gippsland[?] in the southeast, to the snow-covered Victorian alpine areas which rise to almost 2000 metres, (with Mount Bogong[?] the highest peak at 1986 metres), and extensive semi-arid plains to the west and north-west.
Victoria is generally regarded as the home of Australian Rules Football, with most cities and towns having at least one team.
