Hello Steve..I have been a regular visitor to Victor since the mid 1940's and reckon it is a match for any town on the coast in Aust.The palm trees though are new to me..gives the main st. a feeling of Gold Coast sunny Qld feel.Looks good to me.Although the beaches are safe...one has to be careful of the reefs...in the shallow water..in the vicinity of the green memorial gardens where the Norfolk Pines are.People use to joke that Victor was a place to spend the last days.of your life and was a town devoid of of youth and good times.I never saw it that way and it has slowly become possibly the number 1 destination for holidaymakers , along with Pt.Elliot and Encounter Bay close by.
