Melbourne is the second largest city in Australia and the largest city and capital of the state of Victoria. Melbourne is consistently ranked one of the most liveable cities in the world. The city is a melting pot with over a quarter of the population being born overseas. There are approximately 60 cultural groups speaking 170 languages, giving this City its unique character.

Because Melbourne is a cultural melting pot, there exists a lively passion for eating and drinking, which is reflected in thousands of restaurants serving up tasteful experiences from around the world. Melbourne's standing as the cultural capital of Australia is recognized in a nonstop program of film and food festivals, major art exhibitions and musical extravaganzas. The city is also famous for its range of crowd-pleasing events, from the excitement of the Australian Grand Prix to the beautiful floral displays of the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show.

Melbourne is built around Port Phillip Bay and extends west into the plains and east into the Dandenongs hills. The climate has a reputation for being unpredictable and liable to extremes - very hot or very cold and often both on the same day! On the plus side, Melbourne's multitude of parks makes it a beautiful place to witness the changing seasons.
