Our story

Victoria had not had a Geographical Society since 1920. Just over one hundred years later, Geography Victoria was formed in 2021-2022, during the COVID years, as a geographical organisation.

The formation of Geography Victoria addresses a key recommendation of the National Committee for Geographical Sciences in 2018 and redresses the lack of a geographical organisation for Victorians.

Geography Victoria brings together people of all ages, from all walks of life and with a broad range of interests to share in a range of geographical experiences aimed at developing a deeper understanding of the community and environment.

Our sincere thanks to Rob Gell AM (Patron of Geography Victoria and President of The Royal Society of Victoria (RSV)) for his ongoing support and the RSV who auspiced our early events.

Geography Victoria was officially launched on November 10, 2024 at a gala event at The Melbourne Town Hall.

Our objective

To provide information and education for people of all ages about the natural environment in Victoria through the discipline of geography.
