Send us Fan MailThe Victorian Alps, also known as the High Country, is some of Australia’s most stunning countryside occupying the majority of Eastern Victoria. It’s a bit of a tourist hotspot, being more or less the home of Australian Alpine Skiing. It's also home to a rapidly developing and exciting wine scene.
