Soldiers Memorial at the corner of Main Street and Mackay Street in Eldorado, Victoria, Australia. Eldorado was a thriving gold rush town in the 1850s. Like many gold rush towns its population declined when the gold rush ended. One of the town's tourist attractions is a very large dredge built in 1935 which can still be viewed on Reedy Creek.
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.
