    Victoria is traversed from west to east by an irregular range of mountains, an extension of the Great Dividing Range. The mountains are low in the west, but rise toward the east into the rugged Australian Alps. The highest peak of the Australian Alps in Victoria is Mount Bogong (1984 m/6508 ft). The Mallee is a mostly barren region in northwestern Victoria. It is named for the mallee eucalyptus that grows there. The coast is lined with broken ranges of hills and is irregular, with granitic headlands and landlocked bays, such as Port Phillip, the harbor of Melbourne. Among the several navigable rivers, those on the northern watersheds are tributaries of the Murray River, which forms most of the boundary with New South Wales. More than 80 extinct volcanic peaks are just west of Port Phillip, and basaltic flows mark some of the plains.
    The capital and largest city of Victoria is Melbourne. Other cities in the state include Geelong, Ballarat, and Bendigo. The population of Victoria in 1991 was 4,244,221.
    The mountains and drift deposits of Victoria are rich in minerals. After gold was found here in 1851, Victoria provided about two-thirds of Australia's total supply. Recently, however, the relative economic importance of Victoria's gold production has decreased. Mining of lignite (brown coal), petroleum, and natural gas is also of major importance. Some of the world's largest deposits of brown coal are in the Gippsland region, east of Melbourne.
    Farming plays a leading role in the economy of Victoria and dairying is an important industry. The chief crops are wheat, oats, barley, potatoes, hay, and grapes. Cattle, sheep, and pigs are raised. Wool, meats, wheat, butter, fruits, skins, milk products, and flour are leading exports. Fabricated metal products, textiles, clothing and footwear, transport equipment, and food, beverages, and tobacco are processed. Railroads in Victoria total about 6360 km (3950 mi) and roads about 156,700 km (97,370 mi).
    Melbourne is an important seaport. An international airport is located in the Melbourne suburb of Tullamarine. A center of learning, greater Melbourne is the seat of the University of Melbourne (1853), Monash University (1958), and La Trobe University (1964), as well as of a number of colleges and institutes.
