At the tip of Australia's east coast is Victoria, the second-smallest state in the country, which boasts a unique style all its own. With Melbourne as its capital city, the region's sense of style and taste for exquisite cuisine has placed it on the map as a cultural mecca. From public art and entertainment to adventurous hiking and cycling, your locum tenens assignment will be packed with exhilarating activities when you visit Victoria.
Victoria is filled with public art displays, many of which are available to view in alleyways and marketplaces. However, the works are not limited to visual pieces.
"Proximities," for example, is a unique sound installation in Melbourne that offers pedestrians crossing the William Barak Bridge a unique auditory experience as they pass. A sonic burst washes over them, comprising voice recordings of people from the 53 Commonwealth nations represented in the country. The people sing traditional songs from their backgrounds, all of which are interwoven to create a layered and unparalleled sensory experience.
The diverse landscape of Victoria provides the perfect environment for outdoor enthusiasts as well. Many short walks dot the state's terrain, like the Shelly Beach Circuit and the Cape Bridgewater Trail.
