Victoria (Australia)

Victoria (abbreviated as
Vic.) is a state in the south-east of
Australia. Geographically the smallest mainland state, Victoria is bordered by
New South Wales to the north, the
Tasman Sea to the east, the
Bass Strait and
Tasmania to the south,[note 1] and
South Australia to the west.
Australia's most densely-populated state, most of Victoria's population is concentrated in the area surrounding
Port Phillip, including the capital and largest city,
Melbourne, which is also Australia's second-largest city overall.
Prior to
European settlement, the area now constituting Victoria was inhabited by a large number of
Aboriginal peoples, collectively known as the
Koori. With
Great Britain having claimed the entire
Australian continent east of the
135th meridian east in 1788, Victoria was included in the wider colony of New South Wales. The first settlement in the area occurred in 1803 at
Sullivan Bay, and much of what is now Victoria was included in the
Port Phillip District in 1836, an administrative division of New South Wales. Victoria was officially created a separate colony in 1851, and achieved self-government in 1855.[6] The
Victorian gold rush in the
1850s and
1860s significantly increased both the population and wealth of the colony, and by the
Federation of Australia in
1901, Melbourne had become the leading financial centre in
Australasia. With
Canberra still under construction, Melbourne also served as interim capital of
Australia until
1927, with the
Federal Parliament meeting in
Parliament House.
Politically, Victoria has 37 seats in the
Australian House of Representatives and 12 seats in the
Australian Senate, with the majority belonging to the
Labor Party. At state level, the
Parliament of Victoria consists of the
Legislative Assembly (the lower house) and the
Legislative Council (the upper house). Victoria is currently governed by a coalition between the
Liberal Party and the
National Party, with the
Liberals'
Denis Napthine the current premier. The personal representative of the
Queen of Australia in the state is the
Governor of Victoria, currently
Alex Chernov.
Local government is concentrated in 79 municipal districts, including 33 cities, although a number of unincorporated areas still exist, which are administered directly by the state.
The economy of Victoria is highly diversified: service sectors including financial and property services, health, education, wholesale, retail, hospitality and manufacturing constitute the majority of employment. Victoria's total gross state product (
GSP) is ranked second in Australia, although Victoria is ranked sixth in terms of GSP per capita because of its limited mining activity. Culturally, Melbourne is home to a number of museums, art galleries and theatres and is also described as the "sporting capital of
Australia". The
Melbourne Cricket Ground is the largest stadium in Australia, and the host of the
1956 Summer Olympics and the
2006 Commonwealth Games. The ground is also considered the "spiritual home" of
Australian cricket and
Australian rules football, and hosts the grand final of the
Australian Football League (
AFL) each year, usually drawing crowds of over 95,
000 people. Victoria includes eight public universities, with the oldest, the
University of Melbourne, having been founded in 1853.
