Panorama of Reedy Creek with Cock's Dredge in Eldorado, Victoria, Australia. The sheer size of the dredge from 1936 is impressive, it was 64 metres long and 50 metres wide at its bow weighing a staggering 1880 tonnes. The dredge found its final resting place in a small lake that it had dug up itself.
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.
