MELBOURNE |
|
 The
capital of Victoria and Australia's second largest
city – Melbourne is known for its Victorian architecture,
trams, theatres, art galleries, leafy gardens and
the beach. Rattling trams, parklands singing with
blackbirds, stately architecture and palm trees give
Melbourne a European quality.
Situated on the banks of the Yarra River and stretching inland
from the waters of Port Phillip, Melbourne is a city marked by
its extensive parklands and urban ‘villages’ that surround a
block of city centre streets.

 Melbourne's
pedestrian malls, intricate Victorian shopping arcades
and demure laneways make it a pleasant place to wander.
For greener wanderings the city boasts a huge Botanic
Garden, beside the river as well as many parks and
the bay-side promenade at St. Kilda. Here the palm
trees wave gently in the breeze. When evening falls
the restaurants fill up again and the nightlife starts
to take off at dozens of pubs and bars that pride
themselves on being unique.
The influence of decades of immigration from all over the
world has made Melbourne a paradise for those who love food
and wine. Whole streets are dedicated to food, whether it be
Indian, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, Greek, or a host
of other styles.
Sports-mad Melbourne is home to world-famous sporting events
such as the Melbourne Cup, the Australian Open Tennis and the
Qantas Australia Grand Prix.
