Panorama of grain silos between the Henty Highway and the railway line at Batchica, Victoria, Australia. Batchica is a small locality in the Wimmera region in the northwest of Victoria. Large grain silos stand like sentinels dotted along highways and railway lines in this large dryland farming area with long distances separating small towns and farms.
Victoria is Australia's second smallest State and covers only 3% of Australia's land area but has the second highest population of all States and Territories. Victoria's mainland and islands have a total length of 2,512 kilometres coastline which is about 4.2% of Australia's 59,736 kilometres of coastline. Australia is the driest inhabited continent and Victoria is no exception although the state capital Melbourne has the reputation to have 4 seasons in one day. Victoria is located in the southeast of mainland Australia and includes the most southern point on mainland Australia at Wilsons Promontory National Park.
