Houseboating is a joy in both the peak and off seasons in Victoria. The view from the houseboat windows is always changing and provides a wonderful taste of nature at its finest, at every hour of the day. Nature is at its most photogenic when right in the thick of it, with sultry sunrises and colourful sunsets, dappled skies, birds, fish and trees it’s truly a delight to bask in mother nature’s gifts.3.
