I don't think they still use it, but Visit Victoria’s slogan used to be "You'll love every piece of Victoria", matched with a jigsaw-like map of the state. I thought that was a clever way to promote travel to the regions.

My colleague Ben Groundwater sings the praises of Victoria's country towns. He's right, we are lucky to have so many pleasant small towns so close together, compared to those of other states.
"Victoria, meanwhile, has Daylesford and Castlemaine, Kyneton and Red Hill. It has Beechworth and Ballarat, Rutherglen and Bright. It has Bendigo and Port Fairy, Woodend and Torquay.
"And it has all these towns smooshed into just 3 per cent of Australia’s landmass, meaning you as a visitor or even a local can very easily visit one of these places or many in a short holiday and enjoy all they have to offer: the bushranger history, the rugged coastline, the wineries, the art galleries, the classic rolling landscapes, the boutique hotels, the restaurants, the cafes, the bars."
