Melbourne

Melbourne, the capital of Victoria, is the second largest city in Australia. Its multicultural atmosphere is set amongst Victorian-era buildings and gorgeous parkland. It has a population of just over 3 million people, and is a picturesque place with so much to offer the visitor and resident alike. Melbourne is spread around Port Phillip Bay. The city itself is laid out in a large rectangle and boasts a lively and cosmopolitan pulse. It sits on the northern banks of the Yarra River, about five kilometres from the bay.
