Ready for a new lease on life?
There are certain clichés about rural and regional living that you might be aware of. Life is more relaxed. The people seem friendlier. It’s cheaper. Cleaner. More beautiful. And so on.
The good news is, it’s all pretty much true.
If you’re like most people, day-to-day life in rural and regional Victoria is the main reason you’re thinking of moving in the first place. It’s all about the lifestyle.
Wherever you are in rural and regional Victoria, community spirit is palpable, the sense of belonging strong. And because life’s a little more relaxed, you’ll have more time to spend on the things that really matter, like family and friends. Sports clubs, festivals, events, restaurants, nightlife, theatres, galleries, shopping – it may not be Melbourne, but rural and regional Victoria takes its lead from the capital through the variety and breadth of what it has to offer (usually without the city price tag).
As for nature, well, it’s hard to beat. Victoria is home to some of the greatest natural spectacles in the land. From desert to snow, beach to pasture, you’re sure to find the climate and setting that perfectly enhances the way you want to live.
A list of events, attractions and food in Victoria's regions is available at Visit Victoria.
