Which parts of Victoria receive the most rainfall?

In Victoria, there is a strong correlation between elevation and annual precipitation, with rainfall generally increasing as elevation rises. Consequently, some of the wettest areas in the state are found in the mountains of the southeast, which may receive nearly 80 inches (2,000 mm) of precipitation annually, including heavy winter snowfall.1

Conversely, rainfall decreases significantly toward the northwest of the state. The lowest-lying, driest parts of the Mallee region typically receive less than 12 inches (300 mm) of precipitation per year.1
