Melbourne

With a population of more than three million, Melbourne is Australia's second largest city. It is regarded as the cultural and fashion capital of Australia and renowned for its fine restaurants. It is a true multicultural city with more than one quarter of Melbourne's inhabitants being born overseas.

Melbourne is one of the great cities of the world. Its unparalleled attractions are its gardens and parklands, food precincts, arcades and great sporting facilities. Most of these attractions are situated around the Central Business District (CBD) or within an easy tram or train ride.

Although Melbourne sprawls around much of Port Phillip Bay, the main focus for visitors is the Yarra River, which forms the southern perimeter of the CBD. The river separates the city from the Southbank development and the parklands that surround the Royal Botanic Gardens.
