While Victoria is beautiful all year round (yes, even in the coldest depths of winter!), there’s no denying autumn is one of the most spectacular seasons – especially when the deciduous leaves change colour to warm, crackly hues before dropping to the ground.

If you’re keen to make the most of this fleeting season, here are the best towns, parks and gardens in Victoria to see the leaves at their most vibrant. Rug up, pack a picnic and make sure your phone is charged –you won’t want to miss capturing this fiery spectacle.
