Melbourne is the capital city of Victoria and the second largest city in Australia. Covering an area of 7,280 sq kms, it is home to 3.2 million people who are made up of the most cosmopolitan mix of ethnic groups and backgrounds of all the Australian cities. Melbourne while it is a major city, it has less panic and more warmth of other large cities. The parks around the city and the old churches which are floodlit at night give an English feel. It is said to be one of the worlds most liveable cities. One day I'm sure, I will find myself back living here.
Melburnians love their sport and are keen supporters of the major events such as the Formula One Grand Prix held in March, the Australian Open Tennis held in January, The Melbourne Cup horse race and spring racing carnival in November and the Australian 500cc Motor Cycle Grand Prix which all attract major crowds. The final of the local AFL football league brings in crowds up to 100,000.
Fact:; Melbourne contains the largest concentration of Greeks living outside of Greece.
This page covers a lot more areas than just the Melbourne Metro but they are trips that can be done as organised or solo day trips.

Hi.. Short qn.. Since you've been to Melbourne Zoo, which one is better, Singapore Zoo or Melbourne Zoo? Cheers, Nora:)
Try this site for more info on the Shrine: http://melbourne-shrine-of-remembrance.blogspot.com/
Yick! Keep away from this hole! It spells cheap and nasty decor with sad people losing their homes!
Melbourne looks beautiful through your pages, KW ... Thanks.
Top Page for tips and photos , we are looking forward to our visit to your city in Jan 2006....cheers
I'm off there this year. Might finally get enough for my own Melbourne page! Thanks for the Ricketts info, it's one of the places I mean to visit.
Thanks for dropping by my pages. Nice Melbourne pics & pages! Greetings from Kate
Ah, it's nice to be reminded of the city that I already miss! Great pages, as usual, so full of info & insight. And that weather! Went from 39 to 18C in 3 days!!!
I'd like to live in Williamsburg, er sorry, Williamstown. Melbourne seems great... but in my mood, I think Perth wins for now... it's all far way yet familiar.
Loved Melbourne, great city. And a wonderful page, too.
