Editing The Post-Apocalyptic Roadmap/Australia (section)

==Victoria==
Victoria was the garden of Australia - the large rural areas filled with vineyards, farms and orchards made it a prime target for bombing. Nearly all of the areas responsible for primary production were all burnt or contaminated by nuclear submunitions hitting the countryside. Eastern Victoria was devastated, the worst of the destruction 40km west of Bendigo.

The 70% of the population that lived in Melbourne is now stuck in a highly urbanised environment, with waves of refugees from other regions camped in Federation Square and in the high-rises of the CBD. In the first few weeks after the nukes hit there was a stampede for permanent accommodation that filled the many apartments and offices with camps - even the Spirit Of Tasmania was taken as residence (though it cannot sail due to Port Phillip Bay's current contamination).

The Yarra is now even worse off, as radiological contamination mixed with ash seeped into catchments from the north. Port Phillip bay has also become contaminated as a result, killing the penguins that lived there and making shipping hazardous. When the dams in central Victoria ran out, Melbourne started running desalination plants along the Great Ocean Road at high capacity to provide safe drinking water. While this is working so far recently there have been higher levels of contaminants flowing out of the Bay and into the Bass Strait, to the concern of those operating the plants.

The food that came from the country is now gone, leaving the city to fight for what supplies remain or come in by boat. Shipping comes in from Queensland and lands on the western shores, where the contamination and displacement is the least.
