Yes, tailgating is illegal in Victoria; the road rules require you to keep a safe following distance, and “too close” earns you a ticket, not bragging rights.
Police can issue fines and demerit points, and if it causes a crash you may face careless or dangerous driving charges—so there’s your thrill ride.
Use the 2–3 second gap (more in rain or at night), and leave extra room for heavy vehicles or when towing.
Back off, breathe, and arrive with your bumper still attached—much classier.
